Diet is a cornerstone of health. The importance of lifestyle behaviours such as exercise and nutrition in brain and mental functioning has been widely acknowledged. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists now recommend lifestyle interventions (targeting exercise, sleep, diet, and alcohol intake) as the foundation of first-line treatments for mood disorders such as depression. Physical and emotional health rely on the brain’s capacity to integrate diverse neurocognitive and physiological mechanisms related to eating behaviour and the quality of nutritional intake. Similarly, the formation of meaningful, socially caring connections forms an integral part of life. The importance and complexity of caring connections and the capacity to express compassion to self and others, as well as receive compassion from others can have profound effects on a range of physiological processes linked to physical and mental wellbeing.
