The Connection Between Nutrition and Mental Health in Children

Dr. Manpreet Khemka from Parkview Health recently highlighted the significant relationship between nutrition and mental health in children during an insightful discussion. Emphasizing the critical role that diet plays in the overall well-being of young individuals, Dr. Khemka pointed out that proper nutrition is essential for optimal brain development and emotional regulation.

Research indicates that a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients can positively influence a child's mood and behavior. Dr. Khemka elaborated on how deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals, such as omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and B vitamins, can lead to increased anxiety and depression among children. She advocates for parents to prioritize healthy eating habits and provide a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to support their children's mental health.

The conversation also touched on the importance of establishing healthy routines around meals, as consistent eating patterns can foster a sense of stability and security in children. By understanding the profound impact of nutrition on mental health, caregivers can better support their children's emotional and behavioral development.
