A team of researchers has found that fatty foods may help reduce effects of sadness in healthy non-obese individuals.
The team of researchers led by Lukas Van Oudenhove at the University of Leuven,Belgium,imaged changes in the brain when healthy non-obese individuals experience sadness.
They found that administration of a fat solution to the stomach attenuated the behavioural and nerve cell responses to sad emotion.
The findings have clear implications for a wide range of disorders,including obesity,eating disorders,and depression.
