People who eat vegetables, fruits and whole grains to reduce
hypertension may also have lower rates of depression over time, a new
study suggests.
The study found that people whose diets adhered more closely to the “Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension” (DASH) diet were less likely to develop depression than people who did not closely follow the diet.
Dash diets emphasise on receiving a proper amount of food and nutrients like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains along with low or fat-free dairy, fish, poultry, beans, seeds, and nuts.
“Depression is common in older adults and more frequent in people with memory problems, vascular risk factors such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or people who have had a stroke,” said co-author Laurel Cherian, from the Rush University Medical Centre in Chicago.
