The Interconnection of Nutrition With Mental and Behavioral Health

Nutrition’s role with the mind and body 

Nutrition plays an essential role in a whole-person approach to health and well-being, from a physical and mental standpoint. Studies have linked overall diet quality with risk of depression and anxiety. Maintaining a nutritious diet has also been shown to help prevent, manage and even reverse chronic conditions that can affect physical and mental health. 

The Interconnection of Nutrition With Mental and Behavioral Health shows:

  • How upstream drivers of health and nutrition insecurity can add to mental, behavioral and substance abuse disorders
  • How mental health disorders often precede chronic health issues, while chronic diseases can magnify symptoms of mental health disorders
  • How quality nutrition can help prevent and manage these disorders and chronic conditions

How to get Home-Delivered Meals  

Did you know some Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plan members are eligible for government or health plan assistance to receive home-delivered meals from Mom’s Meals® at little or no cost?
