Can Your Diet Help Fight Depression?

According to a recent study by the Mayo Clinic the DASH DIET has shown promising results in control groups for reducing depression in those diagnosed with the malady.

DASH is an acronym for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This approach has been successful in lowering blood pressures 8-14 points over time, with dramatic results in as little as two weeks.

The diet consists of the consumption of lean proteins (like the salmon pictured above, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.

Participants in the depression study had an average age of 81, the highest group nationwide to develop depression symptoms. And the group was divided into 3 separate groups. The findings showed that the two groups which closely followed the DASH DIET were less likely than the third group to develop depression.
