Nutrition and mental illness – Scientific findings and tips
Various studies indicate that an unhealthy diet is associated with an increased risk of mental illness such as depression and anxiety disorders. In particular, the excessive consumption of sugar, ready-made products and saturated fatty acids can promote inflammatory processes in the body, which also affect mental health.
Five tips for a mentally healthy diet:
1. Reduce sugar and highly processed foods.
2. Increase the intake of fresh vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats.
3. Drink plenty of water and unsweetened teas.
4. Integrate omega‑3 fatty acids into your diet (e.g. through flax seeds and walnuts in muesli).
5. If you eat a plant-based diet, pay attention to the rule of thumb for a full-fledged meal: „A grain, a green and a bean“.
