NUTRITIONAL PSYCHIATRY 18 Jul NUTRITIONAL PSYCHIATRY 'We are what we eat'. Clean Eating helps us feel better. It's scientifically proven that Healthy Diet has its impact not only on physical but also mental health. There is a clear connection between the healthy gut & brain health. This helps us understand the connection between Diet and Disease. If you are psychologically undernourished, NUTRITIONAL PSYCHIATRY is a palatable way forward in mental Health issues. As our BRAIN is 24x7 'ON' even when we are asleep, it requires a constant supply of fuel, that comes from the foods we eat. Eating high-quality food, rich in Vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants nourish the brain and protects it from oxidative stress. The foods we eat also affect how we feel. The diets that seem to benefit mental health are mostly 'traditional Diets' like Mediterranean Diet, Norwegian Diet and Japanese Diet. A Mediterranean diet-----rich in whole grains, legumes and seafood as well as nutrient-dense leafy vegetables that are rich in fiber, promotes good bacteria in the gut that directly helps the brain.
