Scientifically proven diets have many positive qualities. In addition to helping you maintain your weight, they also help you stay healthy.
Moreover, some of them support both physical and psychological health.
Researchers at Binghamton University have found that following a Mediterranean diet can help reduce the negative effects of stress.
The results of the study were published in Nutrition and Health.
Research details
Scientists studied the diet of 1,500 people, as well as the level of stress that the volunteers had to face in their daily lives.
The conclusions were made using a machine learning model.
Conclusions of scientists
The Mediterranean diet has been named as a diet that strengthens the psyche and reduces stress levels.
It has been proven that people who follow this diet have significantly lower stress levels.
Thanks to the composition of the diet (healthy fats and antioxidants), the body's cells are protected from damage.
But supporters of the Western diet (lots of sweets, salty and fatty foods) more often complained of psycho-emotional overload.
