Oranges and other citrus fruits may fend off depression
Everyday Health: Lindsay Malone, registered dietitian and an instructor in the Department of Nutrition at the School of Medicine, weighed in on a study that indicated oranges could help prevent depression. Malone said the study does not account for other lifestyle factors that may benefit orange eaters’ mental health. “People who eat oranges may be more likely to consume other healthy foods and perhaps participate in other healthy lifestyle behaviors, like getting enough sleep, exercising, and practicing stress management,” she said.
