The relationship between diet and health is well-established. According to the World Health Organization, consuming a healthy diet not only protects against malnutrition in all its forms, but also against noncommunicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and different types of cancer.
According to the WHO, unhealthy dietary practices are a leading risk to global health. Urbanization, changing lifestyles, and the increased production of processed foods have led the vast majority of the world population to consume foods high in sugar, fats, and energy. Healthy foods, such as vegetables, whole grains, and dietary fiber, have been largely replaced by unhealthy, processed foods.
Although dietary guidelines have changed over the years, It has been the scientific consensus for decades that a balanced diet is the foundation of physical health.
The link between diet quality and mental health has not been thoroughly researched, however.
A new study by the Loma Linda University School of Public Health explores the relationship between food and psychological well-being, diet, and mental health.
