Eating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests． What's more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found．
Data on diet among 3,500 middleaged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported． They divided the participants into two types of diet—those who ate a diet largely based on whole food, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and highfat dairy products． After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic （慢性的） diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets．
Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood． By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed foods．
Study author Dr． Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a chance the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for．
There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the possibility of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high．
Dr． Andrew McCulloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, This study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health．
He added people's diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy． The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated （含饱和脂肪酸的） fats and sugars．

A． It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet．
B． The Mediterranean diet is the most healthy in the world．

I have a friend named Monty Roberts． He has let me use his horse ranch （养马场） to put on events to raise money for Youth-at-Risk Programs．
Last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let you use my house． It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a horse trainer． When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be when he grew up．"
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday． He put all his heart into the project and wrote about his dream in great detail． He even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of the buildings, stables and the track, and even a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house on it．”
