"Study reveals 7 habits to reduce depression risk"

A study published in Nature Mental Health suggests that adopting healthy lifestyle habits can lower the risk of depression, even for individuals with a family history of the condition. Researchers analyzed data from 290,000 people over a nine-year period and found that seven lifestyle factors, including regular physical activity, a healthy diet, moderate alcohol consumption, and sufficient sleep, were associated with a lower risk of depression. Lifestyle choices were found to have a stronger impact on depression risk than genetic factors. The study highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle for both physical and mental well-being.
