I'm probably the only one on this board who went to Tonio's. I thought they made pretty good "gravy" dishes. Their interior decorating had a lot to be desired, though.

Dietary Link To Mental Health Found

By Harold Mandel

Published in Health Examiner

October 17, 2011

For years there has been a raging battle between natural mental health care advocates and psychiatrists regarding the vital significance of diet in dealing with mental health. Natural health care practitioners take the position that a good diet, often with supplements, can generally play a primary role in preventing and curing mental illness without drugs.

Psychiatrists to the contrary have consistently taken the position that the not so simple consideration of what constitutes a good diet is too simple a consideration in dealing with their fictional considerations of what actually causes mental illness. Psychiatrists far too often misdiagnose dietary deficiencies as serious mental illnesses and pump their patients up with highly toxic drugs which always cause more harm than good instead of suggesting better nutrition.

Two new studies by Australian investigators has found that diet quality can in fact have a significant effect on mental health outcomes. Furthermore, these studies support the position that good diets may also play a pivotal role in preventing and treating mental illness.

Caroline Cassels has reported for Medscape Today "More Evidence Confirms Diet's Link to Mental Health." In their most recent study principal investigator Felice Jacka, PhD, and colleagues from Deakin University and the University of Melbourne in Australia have found that better diet quality was associated with better mental health in Australian adolescents cross-sectionally and over time. This study has been published online in the September 21 edition of PLoS One.

Dr. Jacka has said that the findings from this study show that it may be possible to prevent teenage depression with sufficiently nutritious diets. Furthermore, improving the quality of diet may help to treat depressive symptoms on adolescents. It was found that children whose diets got poorer had a worsening in their mental health, while those whose diet improved had improved mental health.

In this study a healthy diet was defined as a diet which included fruit and vegetables as "core food groups" and which included both 2 or more servings of fruit per day and 4 or more servings of vegetables. A healthy diet also consisted of a general avoidance of processed foods including chips, chocolate, sweets, and ice cream. An unhealthy diet in this study consisted of a diet high in snack and processed foods.

These findings have followed a recent study on the effect of diet on mental health by the same investigators. This earlier study, which has been published in the July issue of Psychosomatic Medicine, showed a significant link between better-quality diets and improved mental health outcomes, and specifically for depression and anxiety, in a cohort of Norwegian adult men and women. In this study it was found that individuals with better quality diets were not as likely to be depressed, whereas a higher intake of processed and unhealthy foods was associated with increased anxiety. Dr. Jacka's findings highlight the significance of a consideration of nutritional approaches to preventing and treating common mental illnesses, including depression and anxiety.

you are not the only one Idlewild, Hubby and I went to Tonio's many, many years ago. And, being old school Italian myself and having grown up with old school Italian cooking via Grandma, I thought I would love the place. Turns out, I didn't. Thought the food was very bla.

I do like DD coffee, I am not thrilled about another chain opening up. But, once again, the landlords on 7th Avenue have driven up the rents so much that chains are all we will be seeing.

Tonio's used to be acceptable for a American style red sauce place. The food was pretty bland but predicatable and the owner was usually very nice. Sadly a few years ago he decided that he wanted to "upgrade" the menu with overpriced specials that were way beyond the capabilities of his kitchen and business fell off dramatically.

If he owns the building, he will make more in rent from Dunkin Donuts than he ever made running his resturant.

^^Very true! this is why Little things moved out of the Starbucks spot years ago. they owned the building and Starbucks was after them to rent that space for a while. After refusing, the amount of rent money they would make off of renting to Starbucks was just too much to turn down. So, Little Things moved to two spots on the other side of 7th Avenue and rented their space to Starbucks.

If the owner of Tonio's does own the spot, he will now be making out like a bandit

armchair_warrior

studies and more studies could go kiss my fat ass . I still eat my donuts .

armchair_warrior

dude wouldn't care who takes the spot, he'll be too rich to care. he'll be laughing in the sun in florida or something....

I'm still going to 7th Ave Donuts for my donuts and coffee. And greasy spoon meals, which I suspect are a lot healthier than any DD sandwiches.

If it were me I'd do just that and take the name "Tony Donuts."

Instant respect.

peanuts

Tony, the owner of Tonios, does own the building

Then this is a win-win for everyone.

According to this Long John Silvers locator, the nearest place we can get frozen, deep fried, Long John Silvers is in Melville Long Island.

Personally, I don't think its worth the hassle of moving.

Their food is mostly deep fried breading.

They start with a brine shrimp, then cover it with so much breading it ends up looking like a jumbo shrimp.

.....it is basically the same "seafood" you get at the bullet proof Crown fried chicken - seafood - pizza places.

armchair_warrior

fast food is mostly crappy, but its fast, I'm a fan simply because of eating habits . most of the time i'm on the go. especially the type of jobs I had.
