It is recommended to reduce your intake of salt, refined sugars, and saturated fats (meat, dairy products) and instead favor unsaturated fats (oily fish, vegetable oils), whole grains, and, of course, fruits and vegetables. In fact, a scientific review has shown that for every additional 100g serving of fruits and vegetables consumed, the risk of depression is reduced by 3%.

We are sociable beings. Sharing time with other people helps us create an identity and improve our physical and mental health. Seeing people allows us to use our brains and bodies to communicate, laugh, get some fresh air, and more. This greatly reduces the risk of depression.
