NYT - A Salad a Day May Be Good for Brain Health

From the article:

"Eating leafy greens may help slow mental decline. Older men and women who ate the most lettuce, spinach, kale and collard greens scored the equivalent of 11 years younger on cognitive tests than those who ate little or none."

There are other studies showing a diet based on fruits and vegetables is an effective treatment for depression.

I believe as the plant based "revolution" progresses whole plant foods will be shown to be a more effective treatment for depression than antidepressant medications (preliminary evidence is rolling in). Big pharma ain't gonna like that...they make a lot of money on depression meds. Grease food diets are SO profitable for so many industries. No wonder things are getting worse, all you see on TV is ads for fast food and meds.

Stop...watching...TV

We already have conclusive evidence regular physical activity is a more effective treatment for depression than medications.

What was it Spock on Star Trek used to say..."live long and prosper"? Isn't that pretty much the same as "live long and be happy"?

Eat plants, move your body.
