In her third installment of the Dietitian Dish blog series, WVU Dining Services Dietitian Sina King’s focuses on the connection between nutrition and mental health.
Throughout the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many changes to how we live our daily lives along with a tremendous amount of uncertainty, altered daily routines, financial pressures and social isolation. These factors all can take a significant toll on our mental health and overall sense of well-being.
In her post, King talks about how consuming specific types of foods, supplements and vitamins/minerals can aid in decreasing anxiety and depression and help promote positive mental health.
As a reminder, new issues of the Dietitian Dish will be posted on the third week of every month.
