正如我前面blog提到的，心情烦躁的时候，有些人就爱用零食来作替代发泄。一个明显的结果就是会反复变胖。
我以前的blog在这里：反复变肥？大脑为避免负面情绪和焦虑强迫进食！

   最近墨尔本大学Jacka的研究，把这个问题进一步严重化。他们发现，20岁至93岁女性中，情绪紊乱症状相当普遍。而跟踪调查显示，她们饮食结构多以“西方式”饮食为主。主要是些加工、精制以及高脂肪食品，如汉堡、匹萨、薯条、牛肉以及多糖食物等。这些食物容易引起情绪紊乱。与初加工食品，它们引起情绪紊乱的几率甚至高出50%。还是应了句广告语：“多吃蔬菜瓜果好！”
他们的研究发表在《American Journal of Psychiatry》，研究提示，受抑郁与焦虑困扰的女性应注意日常饮食结构，彻底告别加工食品。

Association of Western and Traditional Diets With Depression and Anxiety in Women
Jacka et al.

Objective: Key biological factors that influence the development of depression are modified by diet. This study examined the extent to which the high-prence mental disorders are related to habitual diet in 1,046 women ages 20–93 years randomly selected from the population. Method: A diet quality score was derived from answers to a food frequency questionnaire, and a factor analysis identified habitual dietary patterns. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to measure psychological symptoms, and a structured clinical interview was used to assess current depressive and anxiety disorders. Results: After adjustments for age, socioeconomic status, education, and health behaviors, a "traditional" dietary pattern characterized by vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, and whole grains was associated with lower odds for major depression or dysthymia and for anxiety disorders. A "western" diet of processed or fried foods, refined grains, sugary products, and beer was associated with a higher GHQ-12 score. There was also an inverse association between diet quality score and GHQ-12 score that was not confounded by age, socioeconomic status, education, or other health behaviors. Conclusions: These results demonstrate an association between habitual diet quality and the high-prence mental disorders, although reverse causality and confounding cannot be ruled out as explanations. Further prospective studies are warranted.
