Wellness for Peace: Tips to Curb Depression with Food

Yes to Complex-Carb Rich Foods!

Make sure every meal contains some complex-carbohydrate rich foods. Cut back on sugar-containing foods. Replace refined sweets with nutrient-packed foods, such as fresh fruit, crunchy vegetables, whole grain bagels, or low-fat yogurt.


Keep Your Body Hydrated with Water

Cut back on caffeine from coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, colas, and medications. Drink more water instead.


Think Green

Increase dietary intake of vitamin B6 by including several servings daily of chicken, legumes, fish, bananas, avocados, and dark green leafy vegetables. Also, include at least two folic acid-rich foods in the diet, such as spinach, broccoli, orange juice, and chard.
