  • It's no secret that food affects our mood.

  • The brain perceives it as a reward, and when we are hungry, it triggers stress hormones.

  • Sugar levels also control our state of mind.

  • Only if you feel much better immediately after eating something sweet, in the long run, eating sweets leads to depression by dampening dopamine production and making you powerless over stimuli.
