Numerous studies have explored the significant link between excessive sugar intake and an increased risk of depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. Even a small reduction in sugar consumption can generate better overall health. Achieving a healthier mind and body can be as easy as cutting out sugar one meal per day.
