12:21 - : food & mood
"mood in young adults (18-29) seems to be dependent on food that increases availability of neurotransmitter precursors and concentrations in the brain (meat).
mood in mature adults (over 30 years) may be more reliant on food that increases availability of antioxidants (fruits) and abstinence of food that inappropriately activates the sympathetic nervous system (coffee, high glycemic index and skipping breakfast).
young adult mood appears to be sensitive to build-up of brain chemicals. [..] in other words, young adults who ate meat (red or white) less than three times a week and exercised less than three times week showed a significant mental distress.
with aging, there is an increase in free radical formation (oxidants), so our need for antioxidants increases.
free radicals cause disturbances in the brain, which increases the risk for mental distress.
also, our ability to regulate stress decreases, so if we consume food that activates the stress response (such as coffee and too much carbohydrates), we are more likely to experience mental distress.”
and yet, amurikāņu raksti sludina arī, ka kafija ir viņu čuķ ņi antioksidantu meka.
other than that, tagad jāsadzīvo ar domu, ka statistiski vairs neskaitamies young adult, un jāpapildina meņjū ar antioksidantiem?
