I couldn’t resist a comment on a foodie theme that has emerged in the popular press over the last few weeks.
The NHS Choices website has published an article referring to pieces in the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph both extolling the benefits of salt as a treatment for Depression. The Mail’s article goes into a bit more detail than the Telegraph’s but it’s probably the NHS site that explains the theory the best.
What the NHS missed though was an article in the MIrror. They published an article in February listing 1o Top Tips for dealing with Paranoid Psychosis. Number 4? Eat more Lettuce! Apparently it contains a Morphine like substance that aids sleep.
