Eating a Mediterranean diet rich in nuts and fish can help prevent depression, a new study has claimed.<\/p>\n

Scientists at\u00a0University College London (UCL) found that a diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, plant-based foods and fish –\u00a0typical of what people eat in Mediterranean regions –\u00a0could actually lower the risk of depression.<\/p>\n

Researchers, who worked with partners in Spain and Australia, published their report today in Molecular Psychiatry, giving a comprehensive overview of current evidence on the links between what people eat and their mood.<\/p>\n

Lead author, Dr. Camille Lassale of UCL’s Epidemiology and Public Health department said: “There is compelling evidence to show that there is a relationship between the quality of your diet and your mental health.”<\/p>\n

But the researchers said it’s not as simple as explaining away how over-eating can present angst over body image. “This relationship goes<\/p>\n

beyond the effect of diet on your body size or other aspects of health that can in turn affect your mood,” said Dr Lassale.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aggregated results from a large number of studies and there is a clear pattern that following a healthier, plant-rich, anti-inflammatory diet can help in the prevention of depression.\u201d<\/p>\n
