Emerging nutritional psychiatry shows nutrient-dense diets—like Mediterranean patterns rich in fruits, veggies, omega-3s, and fermented foods—support gut-brain axis, lower inflammation, and alleviate depression/anxiety symptoms. Yet, society views emotional eating negatively, overlooking its valid coping role and food's preventive mental health benefits.https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/nutritional-psychiatry-your-brain-on-food-201511168626 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7322666/ https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/eating-emotional/
