FOODS that Fight Depression Naturally!
As a clinical Nutritionist these are the top 3 foods that I like patients with depression to include more of in their diet:
Animal protein: this is going to give us the highest and most bioavailable sources of the amino acids that are precursors to serotonin synthesis and dopamine production so our happy neurotransmitters.
Citrus fruit - citrus fruit has a lot of compounds called bioflavonoids that have natural antidepressant properties.
Dark chocolate - While I recommend one that no or very little sugar, dark chocolate contains PEA which is a is nootropic and endorphin that is actually released in the early stages of falling in love.
Including more of these foods daily in your diet can help give you a mood boost and combat mental health conditions like depression!
