Health / Your Diet Can Affect Your Health by Sam4ky(m): 1:49pm On Sep 01, 2020
Victor was an overweight child. He was nicknamed ‘Fat Kid’ at school and grew up bad over the years. He had low self-esteem and always saw food as his peace. He fell into depression and turned to food for comfort. His family members tried to help him with his food allergies, but he hid these snacks and ate them when no one was watching.
He was soon diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Victor needed help, not only with his weight gain but first, with his mind regarding food; then his diet.

Can Your Eating Affect Your Mental Health?

Research findings revealed that nutritious food is not only good for the body; it is also good for the brain. This information provides a concept called "nutritional (or dietary) mental therapy".
There is overwhelming evidence now that food is as important to mental health as it is to physical health.
Healthy eating protects you and unhealthy eating is a risk factor for depression and anxiety.
Traditionally, we are not trained to inquire about food and nutrition. By formulating your diet, you can improve your mental health and reduce the risk of mental disorders.
If you eat a sweet spice, such as chocolate or a donut with sugar, you will get a lot of energy that will be immediately followed by lowering the sugar.


3 Ways Diet Affects Your Mental Health

Here are some details on how good nutrition affects mental health:

1. It is essential for mental development
We are what we actually eat. When we eat real nutritious food, it develops the building blocks of proteins, enzymes, brain tissue, and neurotransmitters that transmit information and signals between different parts of the brain and body

2. It replenishes the intestines with healthy bacteria
And that's good for the brain. Billions of tiny germs live in the gut. They protect against bad bacteria and keep your immune system strong which means they help prevent inflammation in the body. Foods with beneficiarocksscteria (probiotic bacteria pollute the healthy environment in the gut. Increased fat or high sugar content is harmful to intestinal health and therefore your brain.

3. It puts the brain in growth mode
Certain genes and dietary patterns are linked to changes in brain protein that help increase the interaction between brain cells. Foods are rich in nutrients such as omega-3s and zinc-strengthening levels of the substance. On the other hand, a diet high in saturated fats and refined sugars has a profound effect on brain protein


5 Foods That Keep Your Mind Active

1. Green Vegetables
Your raw vegetables are very important. Raw vegetables such as spinach and broccoli are high in folic acid. Folate deficiency, along with other B vitamins, has been linked to higher levels of fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia.

2. Whole Grains
The main source of energy in the brain is glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates increase low levels by building antibodies to blood sugar and have been shown to have brain effects such as anti-depressant drugs. Consistent fuel for brain and body healthy sources of complex carbohydrates including wheat products oats beans, and soy.

3. Adequate Protein
Adding protein to your diet can help reduce the absorption of carbohydrates in your blood and increase Dopamine release, which can improve your mood and energy for a few hours after a meal. Try to include these wise protein choices in your diet: Eggs, seafood, and low-fat yogurt.

4. Vitamins.
There are a few vitamins that help the nerves. For example, vitamin D helps to reduce mood disorders, such as seasonal disorders. To get your daily dose of vitamin D you can also try the following foods: Low-fat milk Egg yolks, and Soymilk. Sunrise is also important and this is a natural source of Vitamin D.

5. Fish
Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids such as cold-water wild fish (e. G. Salmon sardines, and mackerel) marine plants, and walnuts, have been shown to reduce symptoms of depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other mental disorders. This may be due to the effect that omega-3s have on the production of neurotransmitters (chemicals in the brain that control our emotions) such as dopamine and Serotonin.
