Teens with unhealthy eating habits may be more likely to have depression, according to new research.

A high-sodium, low-potassium diet (such as one with a lot of fast food and not much produce) was linked to more severe symptoms of depression.

These results suggest eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains could help improve mental health. But more research is needed to address other diet and lifestyle factors, as the study doesn't prove cause and effect.
