Nutrition plays a vital role in supporting mental health, as the food we eat can directly impact brain function, mood, and emotional well-being. Conversely, mental health can influence nutrition as well; those struggling with anxiety or depression may experience changes in appetite, either overeating or under-eating, which can further disrupt mood and energy levels.
By addressing both nutrition and mental health together, individuals can create a positive cycle, where nourishing the body enhances emotional well-being, and improving mental health fosters healthier eating habits.
