The Importance of Diet in Mental Health.

How Diet impacts our Gut Biome:

Did you know that the gut microbiome can be altered by the diet you follow? Many people understand that eating fast food multiple time a day is not very healthy, but do you know why? How can a bad diet lead to many detrimental effects? Well, a high fat and high calorie diet can negatively alter your gut microbe diversity and increase the levels of bacteria associated with obesity and a plethora of other symptoms. The more diverse the gut biome, the healthier individuals are reported to be. Diet helps regulate the gut microbiome, whose purpose is to regulated fat storage and nutrient absorption, therefore a less diverse biome is unable to regulate properly. Not only does your gut biome play a role in regulation but it plays a strong role in the immune system as well as in the brain.
