Eat vegetables and seafood to fight depression
Columbia University lists 40 antidepressant foods. In 39th place… the snail! From 26th to 38th place, there are mainly seafood such as cod, tuna or octopus. The oyster is doing much better, placing itself in 9th place. The strawberry is 25th, the Brussels sprout, 19th.
Among the best foods to fight against depression, there are chard in 5th position and lettuce in 4th. The bronze medal goes to the turnip and the spinach is second. And on the first step of the podium: the watercress.
Conversely, a sugary diet would increase symptoms such as irritability, mood changes or fatigue.
