How Does Nutrition Affect Your Physical, Mental and Social Health?
Our diets have changed dramatically over the last century, and the impact of industrialization on our food supply has had devastating consequences for our health. The detrimental effects of highly processed foods on physical health are well recognized, but far less attention has been paid to their consequences for mental health and well-being.
The Body: Eating a healthy diet enables easy body movements. A poor diet with unhealthy food choices can make each movement a major effort filled with stress, strain and pain.
The Mind: Food supplies the source of power for your brain as well as your body, and has a direct relationship to mental and emotional health and stability.
Learning and memory, illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease benefit from a healthy, reduced-calorie diet that includes a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables and fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon.
Eating and Relationships: Eating a healthy, balanced diet prevents weight gain, lowers your risk for diet-related illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and depression, and gives you the energy to have a full and rewarding social life.

A Healthy Gut Leads to a Healthy Mind
Overall, be sure you avoid nutritional deficiencies and mental or physical fatigue so you can keep the body balanced and ultimately, feeling your best.
In Ayurveda, many types of foods and herbs are used to bring this crucial balance back, depending on how your body needs it the most. Though each of our bodies are different, there are some foods that work well for us all.
A Healthy Balance – The Mind/Body Nutrition
DId you know our thoughts and feelings about food are just as important as what we put in our mouths?
If you have a healthy relationship with your food, it will have a healthy relationship with you.
Eating while we’re mentally stressed or emotionally wound up usually leads us to eat more. It may cause us to choose poorer-quality foods, and leave us with symptoms of digestive distress. Marc David, of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating in Boulder, Colorad, emphasizes that no food or diet is healthy if we’re stressed when we eat.
