Does what you eat affect how you feel?

It seems like an easy answer but bear with me for a moment, because this is a serious question being asked by researchers now.

Can food scientifically affect your mental functioning?

With the increase in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia illnesses among older people as well as an increase in anxiety and mental health issues in general, scientists have been searching everywhere for answers to figure out what’s happening to our bodies and brains. So when I read an article like this one, that shows studies all over the world confirming what we here at Steve’s PaleoGoods have known for a while (eat real food!), I like to share it with you.

“A study of more than 12,000 Australians ...found that individuals who increased the number of servings of fruits and vegetables that they ate reported that they were happier and more satisfied with their life than those whose diets remained the same. Another study of 422 young adults from New Zealand and the United States showed higher levels of mental health and well-being for those who ate more fresh fruits and vegetables.”

Keep reading in that same article and you’ll find that it’s not just fresh vegetables and fruits that are important for you, but that eating meat can provide important nutrients for the brain, like long chain omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. (Sorry, meatless friends! You’re going to have to make up that deficit with supplements.)

We already know that what you eat can affect your gut microbiome and your overall health in so many ways, but now add mental functioning too. If you’re not serious about your diet, it’s time to get that way.
