Hello friend. Let us talk about food choices and how they might connect to our daily actions. Life gets busy, but taking care of ourselves always matters.
What's new
One new study shares interesting news. Adults with borderline personality disorder who ate more foods high in fat and sugar tended to be more impulsive. They also took more risks on a gambling task. The study notes this did not link to overall symptom severity.
