Finnish researchers recently published the results of their studies into the effect vitamins have on depression. Once again, we find a strong connection between mental health and the micronutrients we consume.
The researchers found that diets low in vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega 3 fatty acids may be associated with an increased depression risk. They also determined that a diet that is healthy overall and rich in vitamins B12 and vitamin D, as well as fish oils, may have a positive effect on depression.
This is one more study in a long line of studies establishing some sort of relationship between diet and mental health.
