Maintaining a balanced diet is very important to improve cognitive abilities and to improve not only the physical but also the mental health of the person.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables , with a high supply of vitamins and minerals, whole grains, cereals, legumes, seeds, lean meats and fish oil helps to keep our body healthy and can protect us from certain mental illnesses.

Consuming whole foods, with Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, reduces the risk of depression.

Consuming foods containing tryptophan, an essential amino acid that regulates serotonin levels in the brain, can be a source of help in preventing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Also, remember the need to drink at least 2 liters of water a day. Dehydration promotes the release of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline in our bodies, which contribute to anxiety.
