Antidepressant food

Dietary pattern and food choice may play a role in the treatment and prevention of brain-based disorders, particularly depression

❕ Many nutrients are implicated in the pathophysiology of depression, for instance: the long-chained omega-3 fatty acids, B-vitamins, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D. Deficiencies of these nutrients can cause depressive symptoms

Nutrients such as the long-chained omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, magnesium, and several phytonutrients promote the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) and thus influence neuroplasticity

Antidepressant nutrients are folate, iron, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA), magnesium, potassium, selenium, thiamine, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and zinc
