What Help Mental Health?

Summary

As you know, many factors contribute to our mental well-being. The factors – exercise, diet and environment – discussed here are chosen because they can be controlled by us to some extent.

Firstly, doing exercise can help mental health for people of all ages. Specifically, exercises like aerobic and resistance training can improve mental disorders, self-image, satisfaction with life and happiness, and sleep quality.

Secondly, eating a balanced diet (such as the Mediterranean diet) can also help mental health. Diets containing protein, minerals and vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, carbohydrate, and fibre are good for your brain besides your body.

Lastly, being at peace with your environment is important too. Environment (includes the people, buildings and nature around you) contributes significantly to your well-being.
