Ready-to-eat foods increase mental illness

People are increasingly eating less fresh food and replacing it with saturated fat and sugar. It is this change that leads to neurasthenia and memory problems that have increased over the past 50 years.

According to a recent report by the Mental Health Fund (MHF), the ideal balance of essential minerals, vitamins and fats has been disturbed. The introduction of insecticides alters the plant structure and industrial breeding regime causing disturbances in animal fat activity.For example , the weight of chickens to current consumption levels has doubled compared to 30 years ago, which means an increase in the fat content of this product from 2% to 22%. The industrial breeding regime causes an imbalance of important fatty acids in chickens such as omega-3 and omega-6, which are important for the "clarity" of the brain. Meanwhile, the fast food boom is increasing saturated fat consumption, resulting in slow brain processing activity.

The MHF report also found that compared to five decades ago, people ate less than 34 percent of vegetables and less than two-thirds of them - the most abundant sources of omega 3 fatty acids. All of these changes are related to neurasthenia, schizophrenia, lack of concentration (ADHD) and Alzheimer's disease.
