Once upon a time, I felt that supplementing with supplements was a bad idea, but recently I have been taking vitamin D with supplements every day to prevent the recurrence of depression.
I wondered if there are other nutrients that should be taken as supplements to prevent depression.
Vitamin B may help prevent depression
At St. Francis Xavier University in Canada, he investigated the relationship between vitamin B 6 and vitamin B 12 intake and the incidence of depression in older men and women in the region .
As a result, it seems that women with high vitamin B 6 intake and men with high vitamin B 12 intake have a lower risk of developing depression.
The details of the result are as follows.
-The subjects were 1,368, 74 ± 4 years old, and 50.5% female.
-170 people were diagnosed with depression in 3 years. Women with the highest tertiles
of vitamin B 6 intake from food were 43% less likely to develop depression after adjusting for demographic and health factors (multivariate odds ratio [OR]: 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.39 to 0.96). However, after adjusting for energy intake, the effect diminished. Men with the highest tertile intake
of vitamin B 12 from food had a lower risk of depression (energy-adjusted multivariate OR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.90).
-In addition to this, no data showing relevance was obtained.
The study showed evidence of a reduced risk of depression in women with high dietary vitamin B 6 intake, but was dependent on total energy intake.
-On the other hand, men with high intake of vitamin B 12 from food had a reduced risk of depression regardless of their energy intake.
It seems that taking vitamin B 6 and vitamin B 12 does not always prevent depression, but if you take vitamin B 6 and vitamin B 12 consciously as a means to combat depression, you will be depressed. It may reduce the risk of developing the disease.
What are the foods that are high in B vitamins?
However, what I investigated seems to be that the vitamin B intake was not from supplements but from a normal diet. Does supplementation mean anything to prevent depression? Personally, I feel that supplements are okay for the prevention of depression, but what kind of ingredients contain a lot of them are as follows.
Foods high in vitamin B 6
Yosage vitamin B6 to depression prevention of women, lean fish and, fillet Toka white meat , such as fat less meat have been included in many, in the case of vegetables and fruits, vitamin B 6 food that contains many Is banana, paprika, sweet potato, brown rice, etc.
Vitamin B 12 food that is included in many
Vitamin B 12, which is expected to prevent depression in men , is said to be produced by microorganisms in nature, and is contained more in seafood and animal foods than in vegetables and fruits. Oysters, clams, mackerel, scallops, atka mackerel, freshwater clams, horse mackerel, grilled seaweed, etc.
Most of the foods that are high in vitamin B 12 are often found on the Japanese table. I hate shellfish (´ ・ ω ・ ｀).
Of course, I don't think it is possible to prevent depression and maintain good mental health with this B vitamin alone, but I would like to live a healthy life in combination with various mental training methods.
So, I'll show you how to fight depression with vitamins and nutrition, so please read it if you like.
