1. Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Mood, Made Practical
   Observational epidemiology consistently links higher inflammatory dietary patterns with greater rates of depression; randomized dietary intervention trials for depression (including SMILES) show that improving overall diet quality — which reduces systemic inflammation — can meaningfully reduce depressive symptoms. The effect is real but modest; diet is a lever, not a treatment.
2. Shift toward a Mediterranean dietary pattern
   The Mediterranean pattern is the best-studied anti-inflammatory dietary template for both physical and mental health.

10. The Mediterranean Diet for Mood and Wellbeing
    The Mediterranean diet — rich in vegetables, legumes, olive oil, fish, and whole grains — is associated with lower rates of depression and better overall wellbeing in observational research. A handful of randomized trials support a mood benefit, though most evidence is still correlational; it is not a standalone treatment for clinical depression.
