Increase the intake of carbohydrates to reduce the risk of depression and disease

Science and Technology Daily (Reporter Shi Junbin Correspondent Buy Qiu Xia) On July 24, a reporter from the Science and Technology Daily learned from the second affiliated hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University that the team of Professor Li Zongfang, a national and local joint engineering research center of the hospital The effect of carbohydrate on depression. The research team recently published a paper entitled "Two -way and Double Sample Montel randomized analysis to determine the causal relationship between carbohydrate intake and depression" entitled "Two -way and Double Sample Montel randomized analysis."

The team used the genetic information of more than 400,000 people to explore the effects of carbohydrate intake on depression in the diet, and found that increasing the risk of depression of carbohydrates in daily diet can reduce the risk of depression. There is a certain relationship with the increase in the proportion of carbohydrates and the reduction of depression risk. In view of the impact of daily diet on obesity, research has further discovered that increasing the intake of carbohydrates in the diet can reduce the body quality index (BMI), and reduce the risk of depression in the body quality index.

Depression is the most common mental disorders. According to Professor Li Zongfang, the relationship between the intake of carbohydrate and depression has long been controversial, and it is essential to clarify the pathogenic factor of depression.

This result reveals the causal relationship between the intake of carbohydrate and depression, which proves that the relative intake of carbohydrates in the diet will reduce the risk of depression, and provide the theoretical basis for the use of dietary intervention to prevent depression. Essence
