Following a diet rich in fruits and vegetables may brighten our chances of avoiding depression.
This study assessed the impact of eating different types of fruits and vegetables on the risk of depression. Researchers matched dietary patterns with the development of depressive symptoms among 4,105 Australian men and women above the age of 25 years.
Researchers found out that the likelihood of suffering depression decreased significantly with increase in the variety and frequency of fruits and vegetables consumed. Evidence from this study indicate that filling our plates with different types of fruits and vegetables may improve our odds of staying away from depression.
