The Quality of food consumed in a regular basis can cause both beneficial as well as harmful impact on our body and mind. There is a direct contact between brain and stomach or gut which is known as gut brain axis. So, the food we are consuming can trigger some impacts on the gut environment, that is in the number of gut normal microbial flora, which can adversely affect the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters which are directly responsible for our well-being  . So, it can be said food can be one of the gateways of our healthy mental health too. I have had a pilot survey which shows that how food directly impacts the mood and mental health condition, focusing on studies directly.

Food, mental health, stress, anger
