An article in the Boston Globe last December  discusses the results of research done and published in the Archives Of Internal Medicine about the long term effects of the food you eat on your mood. One hundred and six overweight people in the study were divided into two groups and followed for about 6 months while they dieted. Half dieted by restricting their intake to foods low in fat and high in carbohydrates. The second group ate low carb and high fat foods. Both groups lost weight, but the second group on the high fat diet ended up with more depression and generally low moods, in spite of an initial rise in their moods.

So there is a relationship between nutrition and brain-function, with food having a natural effect on mood. So it’s not only about keeping your heart healthy, or keeping the weight off, it is about how good you feel too.
