Isn’t reducing depression a pretty impactful outcome? Given the prevalence, it seems like that’s a big deal.

  Yes, but for me certain foods already helped to reduce depression. The effect could be highly specific to me.

    That is interesting. Out of curiosity did those foods have a lot of PUFAs? More MUFAs? Saturated fats?

      Sardines, vitamin c, walnuts, green olives. And oddly, drinks containing aspartame.

        I've been learning about adrenal health the past few days, and those happen to be foods that are great for overworked adrenals (which can cause anxiety and depression). Something to look into. Lavender is also a classic remedy for the adrenals.

        I’m on a cut cycle and I just love kalamata, green, and black olives. I’ll have to try sardines, they seem like an excellent protein source.
