MIND... a manner of eating that promotes brain health and overall wellness
Outside Magazine posted an article on their Facebook page about how diet affects mental health. See selected quotes and the link below:
"Active people tend to overthink what food is doing for their body—Is keto good for endurance? What’s the perfect post-training macro spread? Butter or no butter in my coffee?—but underthink what it’s doing for their mind."
"...new research suggests that the connection between diet and mental well-being is a little more nuanced than scientists once thought."
"In a recent review published in Molecular Psychology, researchers analyzed 41 studies that sought to quantify the impact of various diets on clinical depression. The analysis accounted for a variety of eating plans including the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and the Healthy Eating Index."
"The winner? The Mediterranean diet, which according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition features abundant fruits and vegetables, olive oil, dairy products like yogurt and cheese, cereals, beans, fish and poultry, and moderate amounts of red meat and wine."
