Is there any research that shows a link between diet and depression?
assistant
Yes, there is some evidence to suggest that a healthy diet may have a positive effect on reducing symptoms of depression. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help improve mental health by providing essential vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants. Additionally, certain foods such as fish, poultry, and nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce depressive symptoms.
