LA – According to a new research by Lifesum, those who consume fruits, vegetables, seafood, and whole grains are actually 25% to 35% less likely to suffer from depression than persons who follow a high in fat, sugar, and ultra-processed foods Western diet. Signe Svanfeldt, lead nutritionist at Lifesum, said: “Many people don’t realise the link between food and mental well-being. A nutritious, balanced diet positively impacts our energy and mood, as well as our gut microbiota, which influences our mental wellbeing.” Broccoli, spinach, carrots, quinoa, brown rice, beans, lentils, and chickpeas are examples of prebiotic foods.
