Health Update: Consume these things to get healthy mental and physical health!

We often hear that 'As you eat, so will be your mind'. But do diet and exercise have such a deep connection with our mental health? Yes, research shows that a balanced diet and regular exercise play an important role in maintaining mental health.

Our brain is the most important organ of the body and it also needs proper nutrition. Nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids are necessary for the proper functioning of the brain.

• Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flax seeds, walnuts, etc. play an important role in the development and functioning of the brain.
• Vitamin B Complex: Vitamin B complex like vitamin B12 and folic acid keeps the nervous system of the brain healthy and reduces the risk of depression.
• Antioxidants: Antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, and pulses protect brain cells from oxidative stress.

Exercise - Booster of Mental Health:

Physical exercise is very beneficial not only for physical health but also for mental health. During exercise, the production of a chemical called endorphin increases in the body, which improves mood and reduces stress.

• Regular exercise reduces stress and anxiety.
• Exercise improves the quality of sleep, which keeps the mind fresh.
• Exercise increases self-confidence and develops positive thinking.

So what can you do to maintain mental health?

• Eat nutritiously: Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, and foods containing healthy fats in your diet.
• Reduce your intake of sugar and processed foods.
• Exercise regularly: Do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise a week.
• Get enough sleep: Adults need 7-8 hours of sleep a night.
• Learn stress management: Yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress.

Mental health is as important as physical health. You can stay mentally healthy by including healthy food and regular exercise in your daily routine. If you have any problem related to mental health, then definitely consult a doctor.
