Compared to the man's brain, a woman's brain produce less serotonin. This is probably the reason why women are 2 to 3 times more likely to suffer depression and are irritable when under a low card diet. Eating carbohydrate-rich food such as rice, bread, pasta and fruits stimulates the the production of serotonin and keep depression at bay.

ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting to know. I do eat a pretty low carb diet. I need to remember this when I get the blues.
ReplyDeleteHey Liza,
ReplyDeleteIndeed, indeed...although in my family women have high levels of serotonin (some go beyond the levels attributed to men)! I don't know why, don't ask lol!
But I agree with you: diets are killing women, psychologically speaking, so I say - stop dieting!! Exercise more!
Dear, I hope you had a magnificent weekend! I did :)!
Wishing you a fantastic and blessed week...
Cheers
