  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/Z-N2bFdF588   Consuming a Mediterranean Diet for 3 months significantly lifted the spirits of young men 18 - 25 years.  Australian public health researchers studied 72 test subjects in a parallel group, non-blinded, randomized study.   At the end of 12 weeks, those adhering to the Mediterranean diet compared with controls showed significantly improved scores on both the Beck Depression Inventory Scale and the Quality of Life score.   So guys, if you want a non-medicinal pick me up, chuck those greasy red meat burgers and fries in favor of more beans, nuts, grains, fruits, and veggies.  Forego the gobs of butter and use olive oil.    https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/ajcn/nqac106/6571247?redirectedFrom=fulltext   #menshealth #twentysomethings #depression #mediterraneandiet
