Abstract:
This “opinion” delves into the intricate interplay between dietary choices and their profound effects on mental and physical well-being. The article uncovers how various nutrients impact emotional states and cognitive function by exploring the connection between nutrition and cognition. Drawing insights from scientific research and ancient wisdom, the discussion delves into the threefold division of foods as elucidated in the Bhagwat Gita—Satvik, Rajasik, and Tamasik—and their influence on mind- body equilibrium. The abstract highlights the significance of balance in food choices, underscoring the need to tailor dietary patterns to individual requirements. By illuminating the potential for even minor dietary adjustments to yield substantial impacts on mental health, the “opinion” encourages readers to make conscious, informed decisions about their nutrition, thereby fostering a more harmonious relationship between their minds and bodies.
