What are the "star" vegetables for patients with depression?
Researchers from York University and Hull-York Medical College conducted a unique study, which confirmed the link between folic acid deficiency and depression. Folic acid can be taken in by eating vegetables.

(1) spinach. In addition to containing a lot of iron, there is folic acid needed by the human body. Lack of folic acid can lead to mental illness, including depression and early-onset dementia. The study also found that those who can't get enough folic acid can't sleep after five months, and have symptoms such as forgetfulness and anxiety. The researchers concluded that the lack of folic acid will lead to the decrease of serotonin in the brain, which will lead to depression.

(2) garlic. Although garlic will bring bad breath, it will bring a good mood. A study on garlic in Germany found that patients with anxiety disorder felt less tired, anxious and angry after eating garlic preparation.

(3) pumpkin. Pumpkins are related to good mood, because they are rich in vitamin B6 and iron, which can help the body to convert stored blood sugar into glucose, which is the only fuel for the brain.

4 day lily (day lily). Also known as tranquilizing grass or worry-free girl, there is a lot of pollen in its bud, which has a refreshing effect after eating. It has the effects of nourishing blood, calming the liver, inducing diuresis and relieving swelling.

(5) potatoes. Don't call it a "natural antidepressant". Its special vasoconstrictor can relieve people's emotional stress and regulate their emotions. Eat more.
