 | | Popular images of "comfort food" are not all in the mind: connections between food and mood are increasingly backed by research, suggesting that many of us subconsciously choose certain foods for their effects on our mood and emotions. |
 | | Mood and emotions may also be affected by a shortage of certain nutrients; for example, iron deficiency can result in depression. |
 | | You can help relieve these symptoms, usually thought to be "all in the mind," by eating to obtain a high intake of iron, vitamins B1, B2, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium, and by stabilizing your blood sugar level. |
