It’s the season of mists, mellow fruitfulness — and comfort food. But try to
resist — or, at least, don’t go for the traditional, stodgy, fat-laden
offerings. Research published last week in the British Journal of
Psychiatry (BJP) showed that people who ate a Mediterranean-style
diet (fruit, vegetables, pulses, cereals and olive oil) were 30 per cent
less likely to get depressed than those whose diet was laden with processed
and high-fat foods. And since the No 1 rule for keeping your mood on an even
keel is to eat regularly during the day, you can take comfort from the fact
that the research doesn’t advocate starving yourself.
