According to the researchers, following a diet that avoids pro-inflammatory foods while favoring anti-inflammatory foods plentiful in vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and fiber protects against depression. Such an eating plan includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, legumes, nuts and fish. http://ow.ly/gz5n50jmaw8

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) comes from crushing the fresh fruit and extracting the oil. The flavor should be fruity and often a bit bitter, with a pungency that imparts a spicy or peppery sensation, said Dan Flynn, the executive director of the UC Davis Olive Center.http://ow.ly/LcQ650jma4p
