Could the time you eat breakfast be affecting your mental health? A new study tracking 24,000 adults over 11 years has found a surprising link between late breakfasts and a higher risk of depression. People who ate after 9AM were 28% more likely to suffer low mood and mental health problems compared to those who ate before 8AM. Skipping breakfast entirely had a similarly negative impact.
Experts believe that eating later may be tied to poor sleep, low motivation, or unhealthy routines — all warning signs of declining mental well-being. With 1 in 6 UK adults experiencing moderate to severe depression, something as simple as eating earlier could be a powerful mental health boost.
Watch this video to learn why eating before 9AM might be the easiest mood-lifting habit you can start today.
