Abstract

Nutrition is a crucial yet often overlooked component in achieving optimal mental health and cognition, serving as one of the missing pieces in the complex puzzle of the gut-brain connection. The gut-brain axis highlights how gut health directly influences brain function, with gut microbiota playing a significant role in neurotransmitter production that regulates mood and cognition. A diet rich in whole foods, including omega-3 fatty acids, prebiotics, probiotics, polyphenols, and B vitamins, supports both gut and brain health. By prioritizing these nutrients, individuals can enhance cognitive function and emotional stability, addressing the gut-brain conflict that arises from poor nutrition. Thus, good nutrition is crucial for mental wellness, acting as the missing puzzle piece in the gut-brain relationship. By prioritizing gut health through proper nutrition, individuals can enhance mental health, cognitive function, and overall wellbeing.
