0:00.0	A recent study suggests that eating a healthy and balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean
0:05.9	diet, and avoiding inflammation-producing foods may be protective against depression.
0:14.4	Another study outlines the antidepressant food scale, which lists 12 antidepressant nutrients related to the prevention
