Weather affects food, beverage choices, and mental health
A recent study published on Medical Xpress indicates a fascinating connection between weather-dependent food and beverage choices and mental health. The research explores how the temperature of what we eat and drink, often dictated by the local weather, can significantly influence our emotional and psychological state. For example, the comfort derived from a hot cup of tea on a cold day isn't just a cultural habit but also a physiological response to the environment. Similarly, the preference for cold beverages during the summer months serves not only to quench thirst but also to regulate body temperature and enhance mood.
