Food packed with vitamins, rich in antioxidants, nuts and green tea are some of the eatables that can help you fight depression, suggest experts.
Antioxidant rich foods are packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre and not only help the immune system fight diseases but also minimise cell damage and aging. These are all red, orange, yellow and green vegetables and fruits.
Such food includes berries, oranges, bell peppers, broccoli, pumpkin, watermelon, pomegranate and green leafy vegetables like spinach, cucumber, tomato and beetroot.
It is better to eat these fruits and vegetables than to juice them, to get maximum benefit out of them.
Try green tea as it has antioxidant properties and also has an overall calming effect on the nervous system and so helps hold off stress and depression.
Avoid indulging in alcohol, caffeine, processed and high fat foods, carbonated beverages, soda and too many sweets.
