Sleep, movement, bonds:
the trio that lowers the risk of depression by 57%.

A study of 300,000 people confirms what the VITAMIN « S » blister pack has offered from day one: mental health is also built with simple gestures, repeated every day.

Researchers from Fudan and Cambridge universities followed more than 300,000 adults. Their results, published in Nature Mental Health, are clear: people who combine healthy lifestyle habits have a 57% lower risk of depression than those who have none.

The habits that count

Sleep between 7 and 9 hours. Move about 2.5 hours a week at moderate intensity. Eat “Mediterranean”. Keep quality social ties rather than many, and cut screen time. Do not smoke.

Sleep ranks first among the protective factors. The authors offer an explanation: these habits reduce inflammation, which plays a role in mood disorders.

What it changes for you

Nobody asks you to be perfect. The study's message is cumulative: every habit you add counts. That is exactly the logic of the blister pack: one capsule after another: your daily dose of energy. Tonight, start with the Sleep dose. Tomorrow, add the Sport dose.
