The Nutrition and Mental Health: Overcoming Depression with a Balanced Diet
Keywords:
Depression, Balanced Diet, Mental Health, Nutrition, Depression SymptomsAbstract
Depression is a mental health issue that is becoming more common around the world and is affected by many factors, including diet. This study aimed to understand the link between nutrition and mental health and how eating a balanced diet can help in recovering from depression. The method used was a systematic literature review of relevant research published over the past 10 years. The study focused on how eating nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and proteins relates to depression symptoms. According to the findings, those who consume a balanced diet typically experience fewer symptoms of depression. On the other hand, consumption of refined foods, sugar, and fats that are saturated was linked to a higher chance of developing depression. These findings suggest that a balanced diet may serve as a supplemental treatment for depression.
