Numerous studies have established the links between a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, mental health and brain function. These studies reveal the protective effect of healthy eating habits on neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive decline and depression. While the specific nutrients and mechanisms involved have yet to be established, the available data suggest a positive role for several families of nutrients, mainly found in fruit and vegetables. Through their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, bioactive compounds such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants may exert positive and protective effects across a range of processes, such as neurotransmission, neuronal growth and repair, and prevention of cellular damage. All these processes may play a role in the pathogenesis of depression, one of the many other mental disorders (Campisi et al., 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4167\" height=\"5773\" src=\"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/APRIFEL-sante-mentale-02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96884\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block__stylized-list\">\n    <div class=\"block__stylized-list__leading\" id=\"block__stylized-list__leading\">\n        <i class=\"fa-classic fa-regular fa-pen-to-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n        <strong>To know more<\/strong>\n    <\/div>\n    <div id=\"block__stylized-list__content\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul>\n<li>Campisi SC, et al.

It implies \u2018<strong>feeling good<\/strong>\u2019 and \u2018<strong>functioning well<\/strong>\u2019 and includes aspects such as optimism, happiness, self-esteem, resilience, agency autonomy and good relationships with others (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/mental-health-strengthening-our-response\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WHO, 2022<\/a>). <strong>Mental disorders are currently considered as a public health concern worldwide<\/strong>, as the <strong>number of individuals affected<\/strong> has <strong>significantly risen<\/strong> in recent years. Approximately, <strong>970 million people<\/strong> were suffering from mental disorders (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35026139\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GBD 2019 Mental Disorders Collaborators, 2022<\/a>).

These relationships are modulated by multiple potential pathways: targeting core markers of ageing, influencing the composition and diversity of gut microbiota, modifying brain structure, etc. The Global Fruit and Veg Newsletter of this month presents three articles that dive into these links.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36171556\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first article<\/a> explores how different health behaviours or lifestyle factors affect mental health and the core markers of ageing (i.e., telomer length and mitochondrial DNA content). A positive association was reported between a healthy lifestyle and both biological ageing and different dimensions of mental health and well-being, which indicate that a healthy lifestyle contributes to more favourable biological ageing.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37513676\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">second article<\/a> summarizes the relationships between gut microbiota and mental disorders and explores the impacts of dietary components on mental health by regulating the gut microbiome. The authors concluded that the composition and abundance of gut microbiota, especially Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, were associated with several mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and schizophrenia. Specific dietary components such as probiotics, prebiotics, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, species could prevent and manage mental disorders by increasing beneficial gut microbiota and reducing harmful ones.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37918179\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">third article<\/a> focuses on the effect of fruit and vegetable consumption on brain structure, particularly on grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) volumes, regional GM volumes and subcortical volumes. According to this work using data from UK Biobank cohort, fruit and vegetable consumption seems to specifically modulate brain volumes. In particular, higher fresh fruit intake is associated with larger grey matter volumes in areas involved in dementia and depression, such as hippocampus.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>These three studies confirm that there is a <strong>clear association<\/strong> between our <strong>health behaviours<\/strong> and <strong>brain and mental health<\/strong> via several ways: improving biological ageing, regulating the gut microbiota, and modulating brain structures.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/pictureable {\"name\":\"acf\/pictureable\",\"data\":{\"authors_0_fully_name\":\"Catherine F\u00e9art\",\"_authors_0_fully_name\":\"field_pictureable_author_fully_name\",\"authors_0_profession\":\"PhD in Food and Nutrition Sciences\",\"_authors_0_profession\":\"field_pictureable_author_profession\",\"authors_0_information\":\"INSERM, Bordeaux Population Health (BPH) Research Center - France\",\"_authors_0_information\":\"field_pictureable_author_information\",\"authors_0_picture\":96851,\"_authors_0_picture\":\"field_pictureable_author_picture\",\"authors\":1,\"_authors\":\"field_pictureable_authors\"},\"align\":\"center\",\"mode\":\"auto\"} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/about {\"name\":\"acf\/about\",\"data\":{\"title\":\"About the author\",\"_title\":\"field_about_title\",\"content\":\"The research of Dr Catherine F\u00e9art, PhD in Food Sciences and Nutrition, has focused for many years on the relationship between lifestyle behaviours, especially nutritional habits, and brain ageing, thanks to longitudinal cohorts of older adults.
