"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.” Hippocrates 460 - 377 BC, The Father of Medicine
.
With the development and better understanding of science, there is great interest in understanding the relationship between food and health on a molecular level.
.
The actual therapeutic approach in the treatment of neurological disorders, such as pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy are able tomodulate not more than less than half of the neurometabolic overload caused by these diseases, suggesting that additional strategies are necessary to avoid and treat mental disorders.
.
Dietary factors and lifestyle changes help prevent or slow down the decline in brain function related to aging, which begins in the middle age. Nutritional neurology and nutrigenomics emerge providing clinically meaningful results in the management of relevant nutritional interventions in the prevention and treatment of neuropsychosomatic and neurodegenerative disorders.
.
Changes in dietary patterns mediated by the gut-brain axis, are able to modulate numerous neurological pathways including the synthesis of neurotransmitters, hormones and chemical elements, neurotransmission, immune function, oxidative stress, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity.
.
This is strong evidence to suggest that eating habits could play an important role in the prognosis and treatment of common neurological disorders, such as depression, schizophrenia, and bipolarity, and reducing the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders.
