Each fast food meal we eat in a week could increase our risk of developing depression by as much as 4%, according to a new study.

Researchers from Iran also found that eating more than two fast food meals per week could increase the risk by almost a quarter.

They wanted to look at the effect of eating fast food on both obesity and depression.

Previous studies have found that eating a lot of heavily processed foods could lead to depression.

The research team thought that eating a lot of fast food was likely to cause obesity and that this could lead to depression.

However, they found obesity was not as much of an important factor as they thought it would be, and perhaps it was fast food consumption — and not obesity — that increased the risk of depression.

The researchers looked at data from more than 31,000 people in the US, taken between 2008 and 2018.

The participants were asked how many fast food meals they ate in a typical week, and they answered a survey that asked them about symptoms of depression.

During the study period, 11% of women and 7% of men showed signs of depression, although those with higher levels of education were less likely to be depressed.

Those who ate more than two fast food meals a week had a 24% higher risk of depression compared to those who ate fewer than two fast food meals per week.

However, the researchers say they can't prove that the cause of the participants' depression was eating fast food.

其实，从劳动者脸上的一颗汗珠里
你就可以感受到中国的诗意
因为它更像一颗沉甸甸的种子
因为无数颗汗珠一但播洒
就会生根、发芽
就会稻花飘香、麦浪滚滚
就会有郁郁葱葱的森林绿海
就会有果实累累的大厦天堂

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン3の2回目です。先週、クレジットカードのゴールドカードが届きました。日本ではフリーランスは社会的に信用が低いですが、続けていればクレジットスコアは上がっていくんですね。みなさんのおかげです。これからも頑張ります。

Hello. This is episode 2 of Season 3 of my podcast. I received my gold credit card last week. In Japan, the social standing of freelancers is generally low, but I’ve noticed that if you keep at it, your credit score will go up. It’s all thanks to you, my students and listeners. Rest assured, I’m going to keep providing content for you.

前回はパソコンを買い替える話をしました。今日、新しいパソコンを注文しました。私が注文したのはM1チップのMacBook Airです。M1モデルを選んだ理由は2つあります。一つ目の理由はノッチです。M2モデルには画面にノッチがついています。ノッチとはカメラの周りの黒い部分のことです。私はよくメニューバーの真ん中を使うので、ノッチが邪魔に感じました。二つ目の理由は、今年の3月にM3モデルが発売するという噂があったからです。M3モデルが発売したら、M1モデルはなくなってしまうかもしれません。また3月に私が今使っている2017年製のMacBookのサポートが終了します。サポートが終了したら、売る時の値段が安くなってしまうかもしれません。

Last time I talked about replacing my computer. Today I actually ordered a new computer. I ordered the MacBook Air with the M1 chip. I chose the M1 model for two reasons. The first reason is the notch. The notch is the black area around the camera. I often use the middle of the menu bar, so I found the notch annoying. The second reason is that there was a rumour that the M3 model would be released in March of this year. If the M3 model is released, the M1 model may disappear. In addition, support for my current 2017 MacBook is due to end in March. Once this happens, the resale value might fall.

しかし、M1モデルは2020年発売なので、スペックが充分かどうか不安でした。そこでパソコンに詳しい生徒さんたちからアドバイスをもらって、ユニファイドメモリを16GBにアップグレードしました。私は今大学生なので学割が使えるし、キャンペーンのギフトカードがもらえたので、合計で41800円安くなりました。今使っている2017年製のMacBookの下取りを合わせると、あと1万円ぐらい安くなるかもしれません。下取りとは、新しい物を買うときに、同時に古い物を同じ店に売って、割引を受けることです。とてもいい買い物でした。届くのが楽しみです。
