San Francisco, California Jun 22, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - The Covid-19 Pandemic caused an unprecedented decline in mental health. The population that has been most affected is our children.
School closings dramatically impacted children's mental health. A key stressor was the loss of family services usually provided by local school districts. Many families rely on the meals that schools offer to feed their children and that they had a safe, supervised environment while their parents were at work.
The endless hours children spent on, isolated from their schoolmates, caused many children to experience depression, anxiety, and fear about the future. All the activities that provide a foundation for growth, fun, relationships, exercise, and self-expression were canceled.
Here at Yolo Farmstand, we want to help you and your family to, stress that eating a healthy diet, including organic nuts, fruits, and vegetables, is key to both ’ mental and physical wellbeing.
Emotions can regulate eating, and eating can regulate emotions. As the saying goes, "you are what you eat," in the sense that mood and food are often reflections of each other. “
Children who do not have a diet rich in nuts, fruits, and vegetables tend to be overweight. If your calories mostly come from processed or fast foods, sugary drinks, and snacks, you are likely to be overweight.
A randomized controlled trial published in the journal PLOS ONE
“finds that symptoms of depression dropped significantly among a group of young adults after they followed a Mediterranean-style pattern of eating for three weeks. Participants saw their depression "score" fall from the "moderate" range down to the "normal" range, and they reported lower levels of anxiety and stress too.”
Their diet included daily servings of nuts and seeds, along with fruits, vegetables, fish, healthy oils, and fats.
Eating plenty of fruits and nuts was linked to a 30%to 40 % lower risk of depression Researchers find that nuts benefit the brain by enhancing cognition, memory, recall, and rest. A new study found that eating nuts regularly strengthens brainwaves.
Including nuts, fruits, and vegetables, berries, citrus, and green leafy vegetables in your daily diet can promote optimism and reduce stress.
