We all know that a healthy diet can help with your health, and experts say that a mediterranean diet, rich in fruit vegetables, nuts, fish and plants can slash depression risk by a third. They found that there was compelling evidence of a relationship between fresh food and mental health.
A diet low in saturated fat, sugar, and processed meals can cut the risk by 24 per cent for 12 years. This also demonstrates the benefits of cooking a meal yourself, which itself can be therapeutic.
Dr Camille Lassale, of the University College London, said: "a plant-rich, anti-inflammatory diet can help prevent depression." Her team, using data from 41 studies, suggested dietary advice should form part of mental health treatment.
HMHB says: We have already covered many blog entries around food and mental health. It is one of the first things that goes awry if you suffer depression, stress or anxiety. But this demonstrates the importance of looking after your dietary intake. Everything in moderation though.. Still enjoy treats!!
