http://www.freshplaza.com/article/19...and-vegetables Argentina wants its population to consume more fruits and vegetables

To improve the Argentinian diet, the sector will increase sanitary controls, scientific research and information, and focus on promotion in wholesale and retail outlets. Another idea is to put together a unified calendar of seasonal fruits and vegetables. "If we want to change habits, we have to do it together," Nimo stated

One of these chemicals is dopamine. Touted as the reward and pleasure-driving chemical, it is also the neurotransmitter which plays a big role in motivation and the degree to which we are or aren’t motivated to complete a certain task -– like getting off the couch and go for a run.

And while scientists have long known about this relationship and have been researching dopamine’s role and effects, new research offers insight into the role that fat consumption may have on this neurotransmitter, and on your motivation as a result.

In a study, published by the University of Montreal, researchers showed that rats who overconsumed saturated fat had decreased function in mesolimbic dopamine release and signaling. The consumption of monounsaturated fat did not yield the same results.

In fact, the study showed that intake of saturated lipids can suppress dopamine signaling, which leads toward a decrease in motivation. When this was compared to an intake of the equivalent amount of monounsaturated fat, the outcome showed that this type of fat can protect against these changes and better sustain the body’s natural propensity towards reward and motivation.

It has long been recognized that consumption of dietary fat can contribute to issues of physical health, such as cardiovascular disease and obesity. Less research has been released on its effects on mental health and brain function. The increasing trend towards using fat as fuel, however, and its apparent energy-boosting benefits have led researchers to gain a deeper understanding of fat’s impact on the brain.

One of these areas which has shown up is in the brain’s reward circuitry system. The precise means by which saturated fats alter the brain chemistry is still not fully understood, but some researchers are seeing that it works partly by changing the expression of dopamine-related genes. This, in turn, affects how the body receives and sends signals related to motivation and reward.
