British researchers say that the Mediterranean diet has obvious beneficial effects on mood.
After examining 41 studies published over the last 8 years, metabolic medicine experts say that a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, cereals, fish, nuts and olive oil, and without too much meat or dairy products, in other words a Mediterranean diet, seems to have beneficial effects on mood.
Previous studies have shown that the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is perfect for reducing the risk of depression, as well as a diet rich in seafood. This new study from the University College of London (Great Britain) Brittany) shows that people who eat a diet close to the Mediterranean diet are 33% less likely to suffer from mental disorders. This is due to the fact that this diet reduces intestinal inflammation, which would improve mood.
