Sponsor's own description

In the future, we plan to conduct an 8-week diet intervention to investigate whether a healthy Nordic diet improves depression symptoms. The present pilot study tested whether the planned meals and diets were well-liked and accepted by participants (both depressed and non-depressed) in order to ensure that the future diet intervention will be feasible and successful. We also investigated whether any changes in health occurred after 8 days of this diet intervention.
