According to a recent study, eating fried meals frequently is associated with greater rates of anxiety and sadness.

According to the study, eating fried foods frequently—especially fried potatoes—increases your risk of developing anxiety and depression by 12% and 7%, respectively.

This, according to experts, is due to a number of factors, such as disruption of the lipid metabolism, an increase in inflammation, and gut disruption.

Try boiling, poaching, or grilling your meal as an alternative to frying it to limit your intake of fried foods.

Probably you’ve heard the saying “You are what you eat.” And perhaps, as the expression implies, you’ve noticed that when you’re not eating correctly, you feel bloated, lethargic, and exhausted.

According to recent studies, what we eat may have an impact on both our physical and mental health.

More specifically, a recent study from Washington University’s St. Louis School of Medicine has connected eating a lot of fried foods, particularly fried potatoes, with an increase in anxiety and depression.
