Abstract
Mental health is increasingly recognized as one of the key elements of overall health and well-being. According to recent data from the International Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), in 2023, 15% of the world's population (1) lived with some form of mental disorder, which according to estimates by the World Health Organization amounts to more than a billion people (2).
It can be said that today there is more talk than ever about mental health, and all the factors that influence it. Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy remain the mainstays of treatment, but they do not always provide satisfactory results, which increasingly directs the attention of researchers and clinicians towards complementary approaches.
This article reviews the most important mechanisms and clinical evidence linking diet, exercise and lifestyle to mental health, with the aim of providing useful, practical information.
