Could this heart-healthy diet also help with depression?

New research suggests there's even more reason to eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains. While past research has shown eating these foods improves heart health, new research suggests they may also help fight depression.
In addition to fruits and veggies, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet recommends fat-free or low-fat dairy products and limits foods that are high in saturated fats and sugar. It has been proven to lower the risk of high blood pressure and lower blood pressure that is already high, as well as help with weight loss.
Now, a new study that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 70th Annual Meeting in Los Angeles in April finds the DASH diet may benefit mental health.
