A recent study reveals that incorporating one daily serving of nuts into your diet could potentially reduce your risk of depression. Nuts offer a plethora of health benefits, serving as a rich source of essential nutrients, safeguarding against certain chronic illnesses, combating oxidative stress and inflammation, and enhancing cognitive function.
This new research places a spotlight on another potential advantage of consuming tree nuts—lowering the risk of depression.
The study harnessed data from 13,504 adults enrolled in the United Kingdom (UK) Biobank, examining the connection between nut consumption and depression. At the outset of the research, all participants were devoid of depression.
The research team meticulously tracked whether participants developed depression and monitored their nut consumption patterns, including the quantity consumed.
The findings of the study indicated that a higher intake of tree nuts correlated with a diminished risk of depression.
