Crack Open Some Peanuts
Peanuts are high in resveratrol, a natural anti-inflammatory phytochemical also found in the red grapes used to make wine.
Preventing excess inflammation also helps fight depression, say Harvard researchers, who in a May 2015 study found a link between diets that include foods that trigger inflammation (such as sugary drinks, red meat, and margarine) and a higher risk for depression, compared to diets that include more foods that fight inflammation (leafy green and yellow vegetables, and olive oil).
The more you control inflammation, the better you can deal with stress. "And there's no denying that one's stress level has a significant role in depression," Nolan Cohn says.
Besides helping with depression symptoms, peanuts may also help you live longer and lower your heart disease risk. Enjoy those nuts without going overboard, since a cup of peanuts has 828 calories. An ounce (oz) has a more reasonable calorie tally: about 160.
