A healthy diet comes with a lot of health benefits. It helps in providing the body with the much-needed nutrients. It also helps in decreasing the deficiency of the nutrients and making the body healthy. However, a healthy diet has a direct connection with the mental health as well. In her recent Instagram post, Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee wrote, “Poor food choices, high levels of stress, alcohol abuse, lack of exercise, excess caffeine consumption are all contributing factors to bad mental health. Any deficiency in the body affects the brain and you can help your mind by fine tuning your diet.”(Unsplash)
Anjali further noted down a few dietary changes that can help in having a healthier mind. The best way to start the day is with a nutritious breakfast, comprising of eggs, whole wheat bread and a glass of vegetable juice.(Unsplash)
