Depression: Another Fast Food Side Effect

For sure, those who frequent the fast food restaurants are well aware of how unhealthy the food they are eating. They just deliberately ignore this fact. This is probably because they are too busy to cook their own food at home, they do not have time to look for restaurants that offer healthy food or they simply want to indulge themselves with fast food. But other making one fat or adding inches into one’s waistline, fast food consumption may also result to depression. This is a very serious problem indeed. In fact, a study on almost 9000 people revealed that consumption of fast food negatively affects the brain.

A research found out that those who eat fast food more often will more likely develop depression. This research also found out that out of the 9000 people under study for more than 6 months were assessed with clinical depression. They also had to take anti-depressant drugs.

According to the researchers, depression may be associated with eating even small pieces of fast food. They recommend that there is a need to regulate the fast food intake because of the negative effects it can cause physically and mentally.

A lot of health issues and problems may be linked to poor diet, particularly fast food consumption. Some of these health problems include stroke, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and cardiac disorder.

People who get depressed because of fast food intake also take anti-depressant drugs. This is indeed more risky. This fact is supported by a study which shows that when one takes anti – depressant drugs, he actually becomes more depressed and will more likely develop suicidal tendencies.

On the average, drug labels consist of around 70 negative side effects.  Even medicine prescribed by medical professionals also has negative side effects – around 100 of them. There are even drugs that have almost 525 side effects. One of the side effects of anti – depression drugs in an individual is increased suicidal tendencies.

Whatever the case is, the results of the study only imply that people should opt for healthier food and lifestyle instead of the unhealthy fast food.
