ACTION TIP # 29 "Want to Get MAD (+SAD)? Eat the Modern American Diet"
“Thanks to the introduction of industrial-scale
food processing, Americans have changed their dietary habits more in the past 100 years than all of humanity had in the previous 100,000. The Modern American Diet- we call it the MAD- is characterized first and foremost by large amounts of simple sugars and refined carbohydrates now found in everything from cereal to pasta. These sugars play tricks on your brain, so you keep craving more of them, even though excess consumption of these foods actually
contributes to the shrinkage of key areas of your brain responsible for everything from memories to mood regulation.
The second largest source of calories in the MAD are added fats- refined vegetable and seed oils that have high amounts of omega-6 fats as well as trans fats, which have been linked to an increased risk of
depression.
A third critical aspect of the MAD most detrimental to our brain functioning is the factory farming of cows, pigs, chickens, and even fish. Not only are these creatures pumped full of antibiotics and hormones to promote their growth, but they feed on an unnatural diet of grain, which leaves their
flesh deficient in many of the very fats and nutrients our brains have required from animals since the dawn of humankind. Strange as it seems, with the MAD you can expand your waistline and starve your brain at the same time, which is exactly what growing numbers of Americans are doing.
Study after study in the
medical research journals confirm that people who are most dependent on MAD-style eating habits have increased levels of depression, anxiety, mood swings, hyperactivity, and a wide variety of other mental and emotional problems. Our belief, backed up by ample research, is that the best way to prevent the MAD assault on our health and happiness is to go back to eating the wholesome foods that nurtured the development of our brains over millions of years of
evolution. ~ By Tyler G. Graham and Drew Ramsey The Happiness Diet. Presented by Brian Johnson, Optimize
