Friends, today's youth are so busy with their work that they become stressed, which negatively impacts their mental health. Most of today's youth suffer from depression. But did you know that not only work and the hustle and bustle of life, but also what you consume negatively impacts your mental health? Let's learn the full details.

Poor Eating Habits and Depression:

Eating too much junk food, processed snacks, sweets, and oily foods can disrupt the brain's chemical balance. This imbalance often leads to mood swings and increases the risk of depression.

Nutrient Deficiencies: A lack of essential vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids can lead to symptoms like sadness, fatigue, and low energy.

Suggested Dietary Options: Including fruits, vegetables, whole grains (like oatmeal, oats, and brown rice), nuts, dried fruits, and omega-3-rich foods (like chia seeds and fish) is good for mental health.

Hydration and Protein: Drinking plenty of water and eating protein-rich foods helps maintain serotonin and dopamine levels—the “happy hormones” that fight depression.
