Link between diet, gut microbiome diversity, and mental health: Shifting to vegetarian, Mediterranean, and ketogenic diets improves mood and reduces anxiety

A team of US-based scientists has found a connection between diet, gut microbiota, and mental health in adults. They have shown that while higher fat and protein consumption improves mental well-being, higher carbohydrate consumption increases stress, anxiety, and depression.
