How does nutrition affect mental health? The most important nutrients for more inner balance [2024]
Our diet has a direct impact on our mood, concentration, and resilience. Certain micronutrients have been proven to contribute to normal psychological function and can help mitigate stress reactions. But which nutrients are crucial—and how can you specifically integrate them into your daily routine?
Magnesium – The relaxation aid
Magnesium contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and supports stress regulation. It helps control the release of stress hormones and can reduce inner restlessness and fatigue. MY8® Magnesium Balance contains magnesium in a particularly easily absorbed form – ideal for anyone who wants to maintain mental balance.
Omega-3 fatty acids – nutrients for the brain
Omega-3 fatty acids like ALA are important for cell membranes in the brain. They promote neuronal communication and can help reduce mood swings. MY8® Greens+ For Life contains plant-based sources like flaxseed—perfect for your daily needs.
B vitamins – For energy, focus and good mood
Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid are essential for the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin. They support mental performance and contribute to reducing fatigue. MY8® Greens+ For Life provides you with a balanced combination of B vitamins that noticeably simplifies your everyday life.
Antioxidants – cell protection for your nervous system
Free radicals can strain the nervous system. Antioxidant micronutrients such as vitamin C, polyphenols, and chlorophyll help protect cells from oxidative stress. MY8® Greens+ For Life contains high-quality plant substances and natural antioxidants that support your brain – for more focus and balance in everyday life.
Amino acids – building blocks of messenger substances
Amino acids such as glycine and tryptophan are involved in the production of happiness hormones. MY8® Collagen+ provides high-quality peptides with a high glycine content – valuable support for your nervous system and restful sleep.
