If you're watching the news this week you might find yourself getting depressed. Depression is a feeling of sadness that does not go away for two weeks or longer and begins to interfere with your ability to function day to day. One of the most common signs of depression is a change in how much you eat.
High levels of depression are associated with weight gain, specifically around the middle, which can lead to other health concerns, including diabetes and heart disease but eating healthy and exercising can help fight depression.
The news on TV can cause depression - Depression is one of the most common mental health issues in adolescents and teenagers. In fact, research on the issue has shown that nearly 50% of teens and young adults experience a mild form of depression at some point in their lives. In addition to feeling this sadness, depression can cause your body to lose weight and make you gain weight. It can also affect your brain function, making it hard for you to think clearly. For these reasons it is important to maintain a healthy diet. Cooking fresh food is a key to a good diet. The Rib Company London have a selection of tasty food hampers that will make cooking a joy.
Many experts agree that being active and doing activities that you enjoy can help to combat depression. Cooking is a great hobby that can be done in small or large groups. Being around friends and family can be a great emotional boost.
The Rib Company can take the guess work out of preparing meals if you decide to invite some friends over for a dinner party. Our food hampers come with recipes. The hampers can be delivered to your home or office. For more information give us a call on 07428796150.
