RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN BMC MEDICINE

• THE RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN BMC MEDICINE INVOLVES A STUDY OF

15,093 PEOPLE.  THREE DIETS WERE EXAMINED DURING THIS STUDY: THE

ALTERNATIVE HEALTHY EATING INDEX-2010, THE MEDITERRANEAN

DIET AND THE PRO-VEGETARIAN DIETARY PATTERN. 

PRIMARY GOAL OF THE STUDY

• TO NOTICE ANY DEFINITIVE LINKS BETWEEN DIETARY NUTRITION AND MENTAL HEALTH.   

RESULTS• THE PARTICIPANTS FOLLOWING THE ALTERNATIVE HEALTHY

EATING INDEX-2010 EXPERIENCED THE MOST DRAMATIC RESULTS IN RELATION TO BEING AT RISK FOR

DEPRESSION WITH THOSE FOLLOWING THE MEDITERRANEAN

DIET COMING IN NEXT.  • SUCH RESULTS INDICATE THAT

EATING A DIET HIGH IN VEGETABLES, FRUIT, NUTS,

LEGUMES AND OMEGA-3S CAN HELP REDUCE RISK OF

DEPRESSION.
