Description

Diet can have a major impact on mood based on nutrient quality. However, research on the effect of individual food groups on mood is limited. An anonymous online survey was administered through Text Message, Instagram, GroupMe, Reddit and Discord. The survey included basic demographic questions and general questions on respondent’s diets, including how frequently certain food groups were consumed per week, and their mood over the previous month. Pearsons’s Correlation Analysis was utilized using SPSS version 28.0. A correlation was found between quality of food groups and overall mood. These findings suggest that eating a higher quality diet has an effect on overall mood.
