After hearing about the horrors of antidepressants, or experiencing them firsthand, many people seek alternative treatments that can alleviate depression without any side effects. From a higher suicide risk to seizures and sleep disruptions, to name just a few, it is understandable that some people feel the risks of these drugs are not worth it. Now, a randomized trial has shown that people suffering from moderate to severe depression can feel better simply by eating healthier foods.
Key Takeaways:
- The Mediterranean Diet is good for your body as well as your mind.
- Those who followed the Mediterranean Diet closely were noted to have a 30 percent lower risk of depression than the people who did not adhere to the diet, as well as decreased risk of heart disease and cancer.
- It is believed that the diet’s effects on inflammation and gut bacteria played a role in treating depression.
“The evidence is piling up that the Mediterranean Diet is good for your body as well as your mind.”
