Each fast food meal we eat in a week could increase our risk of developing depression by as much as 4%, according to a new study.

Researchers from Iran also found that eating more than two fast food meals per week could increase the risk by almost a quarter.

They wanted to look at the effect of eating fast food on both obesity and depression.

Previous studies have found that eating a lot of heavily processed foods could lead to depression.

The research team thought that eating a lot of fast food was likely to cause obesity and that this could lead to depression.

However, they found obesity was not as much of an important factor as they thought it would be, and perhaps it was fast food consumption — and not obesity — that increased the risk of depression.

The researchers looked at data from more than 31,000 people in the US, taken between 2008 and 2018.

The participants were asked how many fast food meals they ate in a typical week, and they answered a survey that asked them about symptoms of depression.

During the study period, 11% of women and 7% of men showed signs of depression, although those with higher levels of education were less likely to be depressed.

Those who ate more than two fast food meals a week had a 24% higher risk of depression compared to those who ate fewer than two fast food meals per week.

However, the researchers say they can't prove that the cause of the participants' depression was eating fast food.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの31回目です。最近はほとんど一日中クーラーをつけています。食欲も無くなってきたので、そうめんやきゅうりを食べています。今月はいろいろな用事があって忙しかったです。最近はもっと仕事や語学について勉強しようと思っていて、読みたい本がたくさんあるのですが、なかなか読む時間が取れません。最近レッスンで生徒さんに聞いた「機会費用」の話が面白かったので、ベンジャミン・フランクリンの本を読みたいです。

Hello. This my podcast episode 31. These days I have the air-conditioner on almost all day long. I've lost my appetite and I'm eating Somen noodles and cucumbers. I've been busy this month with a lot of different things. Recently I have been trying to learn more about work and languages, and there are many books I want to read, but I can't find the time to read them. I want to read a book by Benjamin Franklin because I recently heard a student talk about 'opportunity cost' in a lesson and it was interesting.

先週ウェビナーが終わりました。ライブ時はコメントや質問がほとんどなかったのですが、実はライブが終わってから数分後に、たくさんのコメントや質問が一斉に送られてきていました。日本では、質問の時間は、最初の一人が質問するまで、まったく質問がない、沈黙の時間があるのが普通です。ところが英語圏では、どんどん質問が飛び出すのが普通です。

The webinar finished last week. There were very few comments and questions during the live session, but in fact, a few minutes after the live session was over, many comments and questions were sent in all at once. In Japan, there is usually a period of silence, with no questions at all, until the first person asks a question. In English-speaking countries, however, it is normal for questions to keep popping up.

当日裏方でウェビナーの操作をしていたitalkiの方は、英語のウェビナーの雰囲気に慣れていました。沈黙が続いたとき、質問がないと思って、私に気を使ってくれて、質問コーナーを早く打ち切りました。こういうところでも文化的な理解の違いがあるんですね。この違いに気づかなかったのは、私の経験不足です。もしまたウェビナーのホストをする機会があったら、この点を改善したいと思います。

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【精神内耗】的话题。当今的社会人们的压力越来越大，精神内耗这个词也更频繁地出现在社交网络。所谓精神内耗，一般是指心理健康范畴中的消极情绪，包括焦虑、紧张、困惑、后悔、多疑等等。精神内耗严重的人，通常会想太多，要求太高，然后产生一种无形的压力。关于精神内耗，我们来听听罗翔老师是怎么解读的。
只要人生存在就一定会有损耗的存在，但是问题就是在说这个内耗它得在一个合理的区间。就刚才余华老师说的是你得找到这样一个出口。这个内耗不会彻底把你给耗死，对吧？这个内耗呢，它会让你在危险中碰到了一种机遇，所以可能还是得有一种积极的眼光去进行看待。因为说实话很多时候环境我们改变不了，但是呢，也许你看待环境的眼光呢，能够做一个选择，做一个乐观的一种选择。因为人生不就这样嘛，累的时候就得睡一睡，躺平当然得躺了。难道你晚上睡觉的时候不躺平吗？站着睡觉吗？不可能嘛，对吧？躺平有时，积极有时，休息有时，然后工作有时。所以在某种意义上，就很多时候我们不是停留在想，而一定要去做。你其实想的话你损耗会很大的，那个CPU占的能量会特别大，也许啊。那做的时候呢，可能就会慢慢地让自己变得平静。因为人生它就是非常地复杂，而且每个人所碰到的境遇它其实是不一样的。为什么我们说我们去阅读，我们要阅读人类伟大的一些作品，也就是探究不同的人在不同的情境中会做一些什么样的选择。我们很难给出一个普遍化的结论，我们只是觉得作为人的话呢，他一定要拥有一种智慧去进行选择。大家都非常熟悉啊，尼布尔所说的一段话，就是对于可不能改变的人请给我力量让我去接受；对于可以改变的，给我勇气让我能够改变；但更重要的是要让我们能够拥有这种智慧去区分刚才两者的不同。如果是一些根本无法改变的，你跟它耗耗耗也耗不了。但是如果有些事情是我们可以去改变的，那我们为什么不跟它耗一下呢？谁怕谁呀，对吧？那更重要的可能还得拥有这种智慧，要区分哪些可耗哪些不可耗。你要跟可耗的去耗，跟不可耗的你就别跟它耗下去了，对不对？有的时候它得及时止损啊，对吧？
你有精神内耗吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
