Are you interested in the relationship between diet and the risk of depression in adults 45+? Check out our paper which has just been published. Spoiler alert another good reason to eat more fruit & veg! https://t.co/8HAxpH2oYi @SReppermund@karenattilba@FloodVicki@CHeBA_UNSW
A study in @SciReports finds that both high fruit and high vegetable intake were associated with lower depressive symptoms in people over 45 years old. Only moderate vegetable intakes were associated with lower depressive symptoms. https://t.co/tRojGsWN55
Excited to share our latest research just published! We found that higher baseline fruit & vegetable intake was associated with lower depressive symptoms over up to 11 years in 3483 twins from 4 countries @CHeBA_UNSW@SciReports

Plant- or animal-derived protein sources are not associated with cardiovascular disease🫀
This new study analysed data from over 31,000 cardiovascular disease (CVD) related cases from 7 European countries 🇪🇺
The results showed that neither plant- or animal-derived protein intake was associated with…
CVD ✅
Ischemic heart disease ✅
Stroke ✅
However, higher plant-based protein intake was associated with a 22% lower stroke incidents in non-smokers 🚭
Plus, replacing red meat, processed meat and dairy protein with plant-based proteins was associated with a lower incidence of fatal stroke 📉
This is observational research, so conclusions are limited but this paper certainly supports an inclusion of plant-based protein sources in the diet 🌱
Very excited to share our new study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. We found higher fruit intake was associated with a 13% reduced risk of incident depression across 7801 adults 45+years from high-income and low-to middle-income countries https://t.co/nKEU5TWEok
