Are Modern Diets Ignoring Mental Nutrition?

[Shree]

We count calories but rarely think about foods that nourish the brain and emotional health. Should mental wellness guide what we eat more than physical appearance?

From eating natural foods, we have no moved towards eating processed and ultra processed foods. These foods do not have any nutritional value, they only have loaded sugar (also salt) and a lot of calories. Sugar is not a good food for brain. It might give you instant energy and make you active, but in the long run sugar will not only affect insulin sensitivity but also cognitive behavior.
