New research is challenging what we thought we knew about food and mental health. Scientists studying more than 22,000 people in Korea and the U.S. found that certain minerals might be directly tied to lowering depression risk, and one in particular stood out. Potassium, often overlooked and underconsumed, showed a strong protective effect across both countries, while zinc and sodium also played surprising roles depending on diet and culture. Could a simple change in what we eat be as powerful for mood as traditional treatments? The findings are raising eyebrows, and the implications may reshape how we think about depression prevention.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Taking a few minutes each day to practice mindfulness can lower stress, improve focus, and support emotional balance. Simple practices like paying attention to your breath, noticing your surroundings, or observing your thoughts without judgment can calm your nervous system and help you feel more grounded throughout the day.
