Scientists explore how nutrition may feed mental health
Association for Psychological Science

Decades of research have shown the importance of proper nutrition in preventing and treating the ill effects of inflammation and stress, physiological processes that are intimately linked with mental health. Despite this clear connection, diet and metabolism typically do not feature in studies that examine aspects of psychological well-being.

Building on previous research showing the beneficial effects of a Mediterranean-style diet - rich in fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, nuts, and fish - Almudena Sanchez-Villegas and colleagues examine outcomes associated with a broader Mediterranean lifestyle that includes diet, physical activity, and social activity. Looking at data from 11,800 individuals participating in a university-based longitudinal study, the researchers found that all of these variables independently predicted a lower risk of depression.
