Healthy Eating, Mental Health, and Environmental Awareness: Implications for the Health of Young Generations
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mental health, environmental awareness and diet are becoming increasingly relevant issues among the younger generations. A healthy, plant-based diet has a positive impact on physical health, and improves mental well-being. Growing environmental awareness motivates many young people to switch to a more sustainable diet, which can further reduce their impact on the planet. While this growing awareness, challenges such as cost, access and social habits often prevent them from adopting a healthier and more sustainability diet. This study examines the relationship between diet, mental health and environmental awareness among young people and its impact on their overall well-being. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that there is a strong link between the three factors, suggesting that lifestyle changes that support health and sustainability can improve quality of life and mental health. Further efforts in education, access to healthy food, and social support are needed to facilitate better lifestyle changes among young people.
