Nutritional sciences have been recognized as being of paramount importance for the prevention of non-communicable diseases. Among others, mental health disorders have been hypothesized to be influenced by dietary risk through a variety of molecular mechanisms. The improvements in the technology and implementation of-omics sciences in terms of nutrition have created the possibility of studying the relation between diet, gut microbiota and mental health. The gut-brain-axis represents the core rationale setting the stage for a relatively new discipline of study defined as "nutritional psychiatry". Research on this matter will help to better understand the relation between food and mood, sleep quality, cognition, and mental health in general.
营养科学已被公认为预防非传染性疾病的重中之重。其中，精神健康障碍被假设通过多种分子机制受到饮食风险的影响。营养领域的组学技术的进步和应用为研究饮食、肠道微生物群和心理健康之间的关系创造了可能性。肠道-大脑轴是为“营养精神病学”这一相对较新的学科领域奠定基础的核心原理。对这一问题的研究将有助于更好地理解食物与情绪、睡眠质量、认知和一般心理健康之间的关系。
