Dietetics Overview
The link between diet and mental health and wellbeing has been well-founded through research.
Mental health issues are complex and multifaceted. While psychological interventions such as counselling and therapy are essential components of comprehensive mental health treatment, at Headway, we also believe in a holistic approach that incorporates other factors, such as diet and lifestyle.
As a society, we are starting to better understand the complex relationship between what we eat, our digestive health, and how we feel.
There is a growing body of research showing that eating certain foods can improve mental health symptoms. Specifically, there is mounting evidence that the gut microbiome, which is influenced by the foods we eat, plays a role in regulating mood and mental health.
However, the reverse is also true; our emotions and moods can directly influence our food choices. For example, some people may turn to comfort foods when they are feeling sad or stressed, while others may have a reduced appetite when they are feeling anxious.
