文章一:Key Nutrients for Mental Health

Modern science has proven that certain nutrients are essential for mental health:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids
These are the building blocks of brain cells and help reduce inflammation. Foods like salmon and walnuts are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

B Vitamins
Vitamins B6, B12, and B9(folate)are crucial for neurotransmitter production. A deficiency may lead to irritability, fatigue, and depression.

Magnesium
Known as a natural relaxant, magnesium helps alleviate stress and promote better sleep. Foods rich in magnesium include nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate.

Probiotics
About 90 percent of the “happiness hormone” serotonin is produced in the gut. Fermented foods like yogurt, pickled vegetables, and kefir support gut health by providing beneficial probiotics, which, in turn, influence mood and brain function
