Mood Food

The May issue of SHAPE magazine mentioned a 6 year study by Spanish researchers that discovered that people who take in even small amounts of trans fats, found in packaged and processed foods, had up to a 48% chance of suffering from depression. At the same time, those with a diet rich in olive oil, avocados and other sources of unsaturated fats were less likely to feel gloomy. So try a handful of almonds instead of a donut and you’ll be doing your body AND mind a favor.
