Perhaps this is an easy way to protect teen from depression, anxiety and disobedience - by simply making a complex breakfast as suggested by Australian research. This study is on 800 students of 14 years old over a 3-day food intake, irrespective of family income, the student’s weight or exercise routine. Students who ate from more food groups for their morning meal scored higher on a child behaviour checklist, with an improvement in mood seen for every extra food type added.

Among the important breakfast, cereal and milk in particular supply calcium, iron and B vitamins that assist neurotransmitters, chemicals needed to transfer information in the nervous systems that are directly responsible for behaviour and mood.

Breakfast has long been thought vital but research has proven it is most important pre-adulthood as young people are not able to store nutrients as effectively.

“The liver stores nutrients, but kids have a much smaller liver, so until they become fully grown they can’t store nutrients as effectively,” the dietician said.

“For that reason breakfast is the most important way for them to get vitamins and minerals for brain function needed after the overnight fast.”

Well, it might turn out that plump babies are happy babies indeed as said by popular wisdeom, according to the December 2007 issue of Biological Psychiatry. A landmark public health study has found that people who had a low birth weight are more likely to experience depression and anxiety later in life.

The survey tracked more than 4,600 people born in Great Britain in 1946 for symptoms of anxiety and depression over a 40-year period which also represent an important chapter that conditions in the womb do indeed have an effect on our future development aka the “nature versus nurture” debate.

The theory : Blood flow to the uterus is restricted when a mother is stressed and the fetus gets fewer nutrients, which tends to lead to lower birth weight. In addition, stress hormones are passing through the placenta to the fetus and may affect the fetus’s neurodevelopment and stress response.

Interesting. Looks like talking to friends about problems may actually increase misery which contradicts popular belief. According to University of Missouri-Columbia, “co-rumination” — in other words, excessively discussing problems with close friends — appears to increase anxiety and depression in young and adolescent girls. Boys seems to be immune against such effects.
