I completely agree that mental health is incredibly important, and I’m glad to see more people talking about the connection between nutrition and mental well-being. It’s amazing how what we eat can have such a huge impact on our brain function and overall mood.By the way, I ran into a post lack of empathy mental health. It was really eye-opening and made me think about how we often overlook the importance of emotional intelligence when it comes to mental health. It’s not just about managing symptoms but also about building healthy relationships and connections with others.
Good points.
