What to Eat

“What then is the bottom line when it comes to some sort of recommendation about diet and mental health? Same as already discussed for other conditions. Look askew at supplements, reduce intake of red and processed meats in favour of fish and poultry, replace refined grains with whole grains, increase legumes, and eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. That then is the link between diet and health in a nutshell.”

-Joe Schwarcz, “Food For Thought- Literally.” McGill: Office for Science and Society. March 2, 2022.

Recommendations like these always talk about servings. It would be better if they included a chart of what they meant by that.
