Consuming walnuts may lower the prevalence and frequency of depression, and improve concentration levels, according to a study carried out in American adults.
Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) found that depression scores were 26% lower for walnut consumers and 8% lower for consumers of other nuts, compared to those who did not eat nuts at all.
The study, published in the journal Nutrients, found that walnut consumption was more closely associated with higher energy levels and better concentration, compared to other nuts. “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of every six adults will have depression at some time in their life. It is important to find low-cost interventions, such as dietary changes, that are easy to implement and may help reduce the incidence of depression,” said lead investigator Lenore Arab, from UCLA.
While the association between nut consumption and depression scores was consistent for men and women, the effect appeared to be strongest among women, who are more likely to report greater depressive symptoms and use of antidepressants, compared to men.
The
Scene Of Birth
Waking
up from the shiny sun,
I
see myself in the mirror,
The
reflection is a beautiful aura,
As
handsome I look with the bun
The
droplet of water waves on my body,
Glimmers
across the Brightness,
Sweat
from the hard earned running,
When
I see myself in madness
Lines from a young man who faced trauma of being in depression.
Was he able to treat himself?
If yes, How?
If no, why Not?
