Several studies have shown that what you eat has a direct impact on your mental health.
Dr. Daniel Emin, a psychologist and brain imaging researcher in California, said that high intakes of ultra-processed foods can significantly increase the risk of depression.
Dr. Daniel emphasized the importance of gut health in maintaining brain function and mood stability.
He said that the health of your gut and intestines is important for mental health. If your diet is an ultra-processed food diet, your risk of depression increases.
Scientists have long studied the gut-brain connection, which is a complex communication system in which bacteria in the gut and intestines affect brain function and vice versa.
Stress disrupts digestion while a poor diet can alter the gut microbiota and consequently affect mood and mental well-being.
