More and more research is beginning to show that nutrition is as important to your mental health as it is to your physical health. Here are the roles of different nutrients for your brain: - Carbohydrates found in food such as grains, starches, fruits and vegetables provide glucose and are the preferred energy source for your brain. Eating carbohydrates trigger the release of the hormone insulin which helps blood glucose enter the cells. When insulin levels rise, more of the... amino acid tryptophan can cross the blood brain barrier that affects neurotransmitters such as serotonin. -Protein in foods such as meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, tofu, eggs and dairy provide amino acids. These are the building blocks of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and histamine. - The fats in your brain partly reflect the fats in your diet. About 35% of the brain and nervous system tissue is made of polyunsaturated fatty acids that include the omega-3 essential fatty acids known as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) found in foods such as fish, ground flax, canola oil and walnuts. EPA and DHA have important roles in brain development and in the brain cell signal transduction. - Minerals such as zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper and iron as well as B vitamins such as folate, vitamin B6 and B12 are nutrients commonly associated with mental health. - Antioxidants such as vitamin C, E and other bioactive components of plant based food such as flavanols, isoflavones and resveratrol are all linked to brain function. Most of these foods are available in healthy diets that include whole grains and plenty of fruits and veggies (especially dark green leafy veggies, orange colored vegetables). - A deficiency in vitamin D has been shown in some research to be associated with cognitive function and possibly depression.
