Systematic and Narrative Review of the Mediating Role of Personal Relationships Between Mental Health and Nutrition

Background/Objectives: The complex relationship between nutrition and mental well-being has been widely documented, with empirical evidence supporting both the influence of dietary habits on psychological health and, conversely, the impact of mental state on food choices. However, a critical gap rem...
