Processed foods 🍪
Refined flour like white bread🍞
Processed foods including deli meat🥩, crackers, cookies and chips are bad for your brain🧠

📌Why does this diet work?
Inflammation contributes to depression.
Healthy diets are anti-inflammatory and are rich in B vitamins and folate which is important for brain function🧠
These nutrients improve neuroplasticity thus improving depression🧠
It only takes 5 days for high fat and high sugar diets to impair brain function
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor rises with a healthy diet and exercise🧠
This Mediterranean Diet can take 3 weeks – 3 months to see improved mood🧠
