Healthy eating habits are beneficial for maintaining emotional stability

2023-12-12

There is a certain correlation between diet and emotions, and healthy dietary habits have a positive impact on emotional stability and regulation. How to maintain healthy eating habits in daily life? Xue Jinfeng, Deputy Chief Physician of the Dongcheng District Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Beijing, reminds that firstly, we should pay attention to the selection of nutrients, and secondly, we should have a regular diet to avoid overeating and overeating. Xue Jinfeng said that nutrients play an important role in physical and mental health, with carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals having a particularly significant impact on emotions. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in the diet, and quickly absorbed carbohydrates can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar, leading to the rapid release of insulin. Insulin can lead to a rapid decrease in blood sugar levels, which can have a negative impact on emotions, causing fatigue or irritability. To promote stable emotions, Xue Jinfeng suggests choosing foods that slowly release energy, such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. In addition, an appropriate amount of unsaturated fatty acids can also help maintain normal brain function, reduce depression and anxiety. In daily life, you can choose foods rich in unsaturated fats such as fish, nuts, and olive oil. Certain vitamins and minerals are also associated with emotions, for example, a lack of iron may lead to fatigue, lack of concentration, and emotional fluctuations. Therefore, the diet should contain sufficient iron, which can be obtained by eating red meat, beans, and dried fruits. Vitamin B groups, such as folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12, as well as magnesium, should also be supplemented in a timely manner. Xue Jinfeng said that a regular diet can help improve mood, and the body needs a regular supply of three meals to ensure that the brain and body can receive sufficient energy and nutrition. Overeating and binge eating can lead to excessive calorie and fat intake, weight gain, and emotional fluctuations and anxiety. The state of hunger can affect the secretion of neurotransmitters in the brain, and the body can also release a chemical called gastrin, which can easily cause fatigue, irritability, anxiety, or depression.
