SupplySide Stage: Nutritional Neurosciences: The mental health - nutrition/dietary ingredient connection
2
The body is a complex organism. The nutritional neurosciences are the scientific discipline centered on the impact of dietary components such as hydration, vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients, phytonutrients and other dietary compounds on neurochemistry, neurobiology, memory, executive function, behavior and cognition. This includes feelings of well-being, mood-states and lifecycle health.

Understanding brain energetics is also important as this too impacts the nutritional neurosciences. Relatively speaking, the brain consumes an immense amount of energy in comparison to the rest of the body. The human brain is approximately 2% of the human body mass and uses 20–25% of the energy expenditure. Feeding the brain for optimal support now and later is central for lifetime health.

In this discussion, attendees will grow a new appreciation for just how much nutrition plays a role in well-being, mental health and overall quality of life. This is grounded in foundational science that has been the genesis for the emerging field of cognitive nutrition and nutritional neurosciences.
