Food and Mood: Improving Mental Health Through Diet and Nutrition – Deakin University
Explore the relationship between nutrition and brain health, why it matters, and how to work towards positive food changes.
Poor diet and poor mental health are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. We now know that diet quality is a modifiable factor that is linked to mental and brain health across all stages of our lives.
We will explore how our daily diets may affect our mental and brain health, including the role of our immune system and gut microbiome.
The course will provide research evidence, practical examples, skills development, and collaboration on dietary intake assessment, strategies and resource sharing for dietary change.
