Hmm, so far there ain't any specific diet for depression. However, one can do some lifestyle changes to ease symptoms of depression.
Dietary changes can affect brain sructure chemically & physiologically.
-Nutrients: Vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein & even a minimal amount of fat. lol...
-Take essential antioxidants like beta-carotene & vitamin C, E & calcium with vitamin D.
-Good carbs such as breads, cereal, pasta increases level of serotonin in the brain, hence a calming effect with decreased anxiety.
-Limit sugary stuffs, go for smart carbs like wholegrains, fruits, vegetables, legumes especially bananas, cauliflower & brocolli.
-Tuna & salmon contains good omega 3 fatty acids.
-Sources of proteins that boosts alertness come from: soy products, peas, lean beef, low-fat cheese, fish, milk, poultry.
-Avoid caffein as much as possible. Tea contains higher level of caffein after brewed!
-Last but not least, exercise to feel good. :p
