Popular diet trend may enhance mental health in older adults, study finds

New research indicates that older adults who followed a Mediterranean diet—rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and olive oil—experienced higher psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tracking over 3,000 adults aged 50 to 90, the study found that those adhering closely to this diet reported greater feelings of autonomy, life satisfaction, and purpose, even after accounting for other factors. The diet's anti-inflammatory nutrients and support for gut health are believed to contribute to these mental health benefits. However, the researchers noted limitations including reliance on self-reported data and the study's observational nature.
