Diet impacts emotional well-being in women

New York : Women may need a more nutrient-rich diet than men to maintain positive emotional well-being, according to a study. Researchers from Binghamton University in the US conducted an anonymous survey of 563 participants (48 per cent men and 52 per cent women) through social media. They found that men are more likely to experience mental well-being until nutritional deficiencies arise.
Women, however, are less likely to experience mental well-being unless a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are followed. The study, published in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience, may explain reports from previous studies that show women are at a greater risk for mental distress when compared to men. It emphasises the role of a nutrient-dense diet in mental wellbeing.
"The biggest takeaway is that women may need a larger spectrum of nutrients to support mood, compared to men," said Lina Begdache, an assistant professor at Binghamton University. "These findings may explain the reason why women are twice more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety and depression and suffer from longer episodes, compared to men.
