   • Leafy Green Vegetables. Leafy greens like spinach, collard greens, and kale contain magnesium, which may help with mood. Studies show that people with depression are more likely to have low levels of magnesium.
   • Berries. Berries, like raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, are loaded with antioxidants, which help protect your body from cell damage.
   • Turkey. Turkey contains tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to make the mood-regulating chemical serotonin. Studies have found people who consume tryptophan have a lower risk of developing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
   • Carrots. Carrots supply unique antioxidants called carotenoids, known to have anti-inflammatory effects on the body. In some studies, consuming more carotenoids has been shown to lower symptoms of depression and anxiety.

   One could argue that, well, being depressed makes us more likely to eat unhealthy foods. This is true, so we should ask what came first, the diet or the depression? Researchers have addressed this question, thankfully. Another large analysis looked only at prospective studies, meaning, they looked at baseline diet and then calculated the risk of st...

   The gist of it is, eat plants, and lots of them, including fruits and veggies, whole grains (in unprocessed form, ideally), seeds and nuts, with some lean proteins like fish and yogurt. Avoid things made with added sugars or flours (like breads, baked goods, cereals, and pastas), and minimize animal fats, processed meats (sorry, bacon), and butter....

   • Fruit Juice. The fiber in whole fruit fills you up and slows down how your blood takes in energy. Without that fiber, you’re just drinking nutritious sugar-water that can quickly hype you up -- and bring you down just as fast.
   • Regular Soda. There's no win for you here: It has all of the blood-spiking sugar of fruit juice with none of the nutrition. Sugar-sweetened drinks like soda have a direct link to depression, too.
   • Diet Soda. No sugar, so no problem, right? Not exactly. You may not have the energy crash that comes with having too much sugar, but diet soda may make you depressed.
   • Toast. Wait, toast?! If it's made from white bread, yes. The highly processed white flour it's made from quickly turns to blood sugar after you eat it.

   • Using Food for Comfort. “People with depression often use food to self-medicate,” says Jean Fain, LICSW, MSW, a licensed psychotherapist in Concord, Mass., and author of The Self-Compassion Diet: A Step-by-Step Program to Lose Weight with Loving-Kindness.
   • Eating Too Little. Many people find their appetite decreases when they’re feeling low. In some cases, they end up unintentionally losing weight. “They have less desire for food and they start skipping meals – often, they’re sleeping through meals,” says Marjorie Nolan, MS, RD, a registered dietitian in New York and a national spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
   • Eating Whatever Is Easily Available. Shopping for and preparing healthy meals can seem daunting when you’re depressed and lacking energy. As a result, you may reach for foods that are convenient but that aren’t particularly nutritious and you may not get enough variety in your diet.
