Impact of Nut Consumption on Mental Health in Young Adults

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Depression Disorder, Anxiety, Mental Health, Stress, Cognition, BDNF, General Wellbeing

In brief

Nuts have a high nutrient density, and numerous studies have reported their cardiometabolic benefits. Although observational studies in adults have indicated a potential link between nut consumption and improved mental health, there is still insufficient evidence from experimental studies to draw firm conclusions about this association.
