Why Nutrition Matters for Mental Health
Fuel for the Brain: The adolescent brain is growing rapidly, and it requires the right nutrients to support focus, memory, and emotional regulation.
Mood and Energy Balance: Nutritional imbalances, such as deficiencies in essential vitamins or unstable blood sugar levels, can contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood swings.
Gut-Brain Connection: Emerging research highlights the link between gut health and mental health. A balanced diet can promote a healthy gut microbiome, reducing inflammation and improving mental clarity.
