7. High-Sodium Foods

Too much sodium can disrupt aspects of the neurological system, which delivers the double whammy of depressed mood and body fatigue. It may also cause bloating and contribute to weight gain, both things that can make us feel uncomfortable in our own bodies.

Salt is also a likely contributor to the issues caused by fast food and other junk foods. The immune system gets depressed as well under the influence of too much salt, creating the potential for depression to lead into physical illness.
