CNN (10/9, Lamotte) reports, “Not only did eating a healthy diet for three weeks improve depressive symptoms in college-aged young adults, but those who continued the diet for three months kept their improved outlook on life,” research indicated.
Medscape (10/9, Anderson, Subscription Publication) reports, “The analysis included 76 normal weight university students with a mean age of about 20 years.” Study “participants had a score of 7 or more on the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 Depression subscale (DASS-21-D), which corresponds with moderate depression symptoms, and a score of more than 57 on the Dietary Fat and Sugar Screener (DFS), which suggests a poor diet.” The findings were published online Oct. 9 in PLOS One. HealthDay (10/9, Heubeck) also covers the story.
