== How Can We Achieve Our Goals With Food And Nutrition ==

'''The Food and Nutrition'''

'''Overview'''
Proper management of food intake and nutrition are both keys to better health. Healthy nutrition and food choices can help for the prevention of illnesses. Taking the right foods can help your body combat more successfully with the disease. Getting knowledge of proper diet and keeping a close eye to what you eat can help you maintain or improve your health.

'''Healthy Food'''
Food and nutrition guidelines give detailed information related to healthy foods. The food is the thing from which we get energy, providing power to our bodies. Every day we need to replace nutrients in our bodies with a new supply. Water is an essential component of nutrition. Fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are all essential. Taking vital vitamins and minerals is also necessary for maintaining better health. For pregnant ladies and adults over 50 years, vitamins such as vitamin D and minerals like calcium and iron are essential components to think about when taking foods to eat, as well as potential dietary ingredients.

A healthy diet incorporates a lot of natural foods. A sizable part of a healthy diet should consist of fruits and vegetables, particularly ones that are red, orange, or dark green in colors. Whole grains, such as whole wheat and especially brown rice, should also play a part in the diet. For adults, dairy goods should be without fat or low in fat.

Proper nutrition also includes avoiding some sorts of foods. Sodium is utilized heavily in processed foods and is dangerous for patients with Blood pressure problems. Fried food, solid fats, and prepared foods can be hazardous to heart fitness. Refined grains, for example, white flour and white rice and refined sugars like white sugar, are also bad for long-term health, particularly in people with diabetes. Alcohol can be hazardous to health in amounts more significant than one serving per day for a woman and two per day for a man.

There are so many talented, free food and nutrition guidelines available for healthful eating plans that give essential details on portion size, calorie expenditure, what to eat more of, and what to consume fewer of to get fit.

'''Food and Nutrition Benefits
Benefits of healthy food and nutrition are shortly listed here;'''

'''Weight loss'''
Maintaining a healthy diet free from processed foods can help a person to stay within their daily limit without having to count calories.

'''Reduced Cancer Risk'''
Numerous phytochemicals found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes serve as antioxidants, which defend cells from damage that can cause cancer. Some of these antioxidants incorporate beta-carotene, lycopene, and vitamins A, C, and E.

'''Diabetes Management'''''Italic text''
Consuming a healthy diet can aid a person with diabetes to:
● lose weight, if needed
● control blood glucose levels
● keep blood pressure and cholesterol inside target ranges
● restrict or delay complications of diabetes

'''Heart health and stroke prevention'''''
There are many food and nutrition benefits, if a person reduces trans fats from the diet, this will reduce their levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This sort of cholesterol causes plaque to collect within the arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

'''Strong bones and teeth'''''
A diet with enough calcium and magnesium is essential for strong bones and teeth. Keeping the bones healthy is vital in counteracting osteoporosis and osteoarthritis later in life.

[b]Getting a good night’s sleep:[/b]
Decreasing the consumption of alcohol and caffeine can aid to ensure restful sleep, whether or not a person has sleep apnea.

'''Nutritional Deficiencies'''''
Even if you are taking enough to eat, if you do not have a well-balanced diet, you may still be at danger for certain dietary deficiencies. Also, you may get nutritional deficiencies due to specific health or life states, such as pregnancy, or particular medications you may be using, such as high blood pressure medicines. People who have had intestinal infections or had sections of intestines removed due to illness or weight loss operation also may be at risk for vitamin deficiencies. Drunkards are also a considerable chance of having nutritional insufficiencies.

One of the most popular nutritional deficiencies is iron deficiency anemia. Your blood cells require iron to provide your body with oxygen, and if you don’t have adequate iron, your blood will not work correctly. Other nutritional deficiencies that can influence your blood cells incorporate low levels of vitamin B12, folate, or vitamin C.
Vitamin D insufficiency may affect the health of your bones, causing it difficult for you to incorporate and utilize calcium (another mineral that you may not be taking enough of). Although you can take vitamin D by going out in the sun, numerous people with matters about skin cancer disease may end up with low levels of vitamin D by not receiving enough sun.
Eating a well-balanced diet can help counteract these conditions. Specific people may require vitamin supplements, such as pregnant or feeding mothers and people with intestinal diseases.

'''Ailments and Conditions Influenced by Nutrition'''''
Food and nutrition influence many health conditions; some are undeviatingly caused by food, such as “food poisoning” or bacterial contaminations from adulterated food. Some people can have critical allergies to foods like peanuts, shellfish, or wheat (celiac disease). Gastrointestinal diseases—such as irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)—are also directly influenced by the consumption of food.

For other conditions and ailments, the type or amount of food can influence the development of the disease. Diabetes mellitus, for example, which follows in the inadequacy of the body to control blood sugar, is drastically affected by the types and quantities of food eaten. Carbohydrate intake has to be fully monitored if you have diabetes, or blood sugar can increase to critical levels. Other situations that are part of food and nutrition books may include;

● hypertension: Salt consumption influences blood pressure.
● Heart disease/high cholesterol: Fatty foods and incomplete hydrogenated oils can build plaque in arteries.
● Osteoporosis: Low level of calcium, low vitamin D, and excess fat can end in weak bones.
● Certain cancers: Poor nutrition and obesity are connected with enhanced risk of breast, colon, endometrial, esophageal, and kidney cancers.
Food and nutrition books further suggest that your food choices and nutritional status can affect your overall health over the..[https://mentalhealthmonths.net Read more]

Can we have a topic of Community mental health ???

as this is a specific area and also a academic term

http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?as_q=community+mental+health&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&as_allsubj=all&hl=en&lr= --165.228.190.54 (talk) 06:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mental Health vs. Mental Hygiene

I think further clarification regarding the difference (if there is a difference) between the two terms would be helpful. Is one a more "politically correct" version of another? I do not understand the need to use "mental hygiene" because to me, "hygiene" refers to cleanliness, and I do not think that mental health has anything to do with cleanliness or the lack thereto.

John Paul Parks (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are some links which maybe helpful in this respect: Psychohygiene

  • [1] "During the early decades of the 20th century a movement was initiated, first in the USA and then in the UK to improve the quality of care for mental illness and to disseminate knowledge about mental health amongst the masses. In order to organize this movement a National Committee for Mental Hygiene was established in the USA in 1909. This was followed by the formation of a Mental Hygiene Council in the UK in 1923. The educated and the enlightened people of all walks of life were enrolled as members of these organizations. The impact of their activities was felt on the shores of India very soon. On active encouragement from the Mental Hygiene Council (UK), the Indian Association for Mental Hygiene came into being at Simla on 23rd August 1928. The membership of the association was open to all who subscribed to its aims and objectives and participated in all activities towards their implementation. Lt. Col. Owen Berkeley – Hill, Superintendent of the then European Lunatic Asylum, Ranchi (now known as Central Institute of Psychiatry) was elected as its first President."

The term mental hygiene has had a number of uses. The way it is included in this article is in an historical context (correctly) as an early approach to the promotion of positive mental health. Jenafalt (talk) 08:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Positive mental health not mental ill-health - edits

I have done some initial editing to cut out the sections that deal with mental ill-health and 'disorders' in order to orient it more toward its discussion of positive mental health. The article as it stood was contradictory. It started with a discussion of mental health which focussed on the use of the term as a marker of positive mental health and then went on to discuss treatment of mental ill-health and professions working with mental disorders. This information is all in its own articles already and is not necessary here. I will go on to do further edits and expand on concepts of positive mental health, the professions associated with its promotion and so forth. Jenafalt (talk) 08:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One problem with narrowing a discussion of "mental health" to only the "mentally healthy" is the same as saying that "physical health" only includes a discussion of the "physically healthy." Mental health is an umbrella term, a (somewhat) measurable indicator, and not just one end of the spectrum of what is possible in terms of one's mental state. The goal of the mental health movement, if that's what you can call this, is to move everyone across the board into a better state of mental health, wherever their starting point. It's not only a term to address those who have already achieved mental health, since mental illness can occur at any time, at any age, with or without predisposition. Mental health is similar to physical health, one must continue to practice good mental health habits to help ensure (but not guarantee) a lifetime of good non-illness mental health. We can't say "Ok, you've achieved mental health, you never have to consider this again." If you talk about "physical health" you're talking about a variety of life choices you can make to try to ensure (positive) physical health and avoid physical ailments for life. But life happens, genetics happen, incidents happen, and you cannot guarantee it. The better your physical health activities, the less likely that a physical ailment will be as severe, serious or permanent. The Crisses (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This context was somewhat distracting from the articles main purpose which was giving a broad stroke on mental health and it's significance in society. When diving into different countries role in mental health it distracts the reader from understanding the importance of mental health and Ginsberg to become a history lesson with little significance in understanding the topic. And there are only a few countries listed with each not being covered as fully as the next. Abdiel Tejada (talk) 18:46, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed them because an article about mental health is not about the treatment of mental ill-health, which psychoanalysis aims to do - this article is about mental health, which is the promotion of positive mental health. It is about public health rather than treatment of illness. Jenafalt (talk) 21:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this deep analysis of multiple countries and their relevance in the issue of mental health distracts the reader from the general purpose of this article which is the significance of mental health in society today and in the past. This historical section introduces multiple countries and their role in mental health but does not give the same depth of analysis for each country and seems that the countries have no correlation to mental health's importance to society.

Advertising is inappropriate in this article on mental health

The paragraphs following the introduction are advertising--not appropriate for the topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.111.5.34 (talk) 12:36, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italics

What's up with the italics in the lead?—Biosketch (talk) 05:05, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mental health doesn't "describe" anything

This is an encyclopedia -- not a dictionary. ;-)

I see this mistake in the first sentence of a whole lot of Wikipedia articles. It would be a nice improvement if this was corrected. --31.45.79.44 (talk) 18:23, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Psychological well-being

These two titles appear to refer to the same thing. I suggest a merge. -- Patchy1 02:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree...though I concur about the confusion. Psychological well-being is a distinct concept contrasted with Subjective well-being which might be called a specific model of mental health, or of eudaimonia, or of flourishing. I found too much of the same stuff repeated throughout pages on flourishing, happiness, eudaimonia, subjective well-being and others about the same stuff that it makes sense to make its own page and link to it. But I'm just starting to edit wikipedia so feel free to point out if I'm mistaken. :) --RT Wolf (talk) 03:25, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No not mistaken. Just need to make sure they aren't the same thing and we didn't have duplicate articles. Psychological health currently redirects here, you may wish to retarget that redirect if you feel it is appropriate. -- Patchy1 07:23, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok cool. tTis article could def use a link to that one, tooo. :) --RT Wolf (talk) 08:17, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Added a disambiguation hatnote to reduce confusing. :) --RT Wolf (talk) 18:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Therapy section added

I have done some rearranging/editing on this article and added a section on mental health therapies. At this point, the sections are largely serving to provide links to other articles discussing mental health issues. I'd love some help expanding and sourcing these. Hillbillygirl (talk) 15:59, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

👍 Like Good idea! Lova Falk talk 16:08, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Behavioral health

The article behavioral health describes how "behavioral health" is a new syn for mental health. The duality is a bit confusing. If this is true, the search "behavioral health" should redirect to this article or v.v., and somewhere a section on terminology should be included, imho. For now I just added "(or behavioral health)" to the lede and put it in the "See Also". Don't have time to perfect anything, and I'm not really sure on the matter anyway. Squish7 (talk) 21:19, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I removed all mention of this. It is not backed by any sources. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:39, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

General Health Questionnaire

Dear editors, I have just created General Health Questionnaire which you might like to assist with and link to here? Tayste (edits) 01:01, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article terms

Hi, I was looking at the article and it's great. Thank you for your work on this, and I'd like to contribute from time to time if that's OK.

I see that the lead talks about Mental Health and describes the ideas well. In the second paragraph, a separate term "behavioral health" is introduced. I didn't know right away if the article was making a distinction or making a similarity with "mental health"?. If it's supposed to be distinct, it might be good to say something like: "Separately, a person struggling with his or her behavioral health may..." or "In contrast, a person struggling with his or her behavioral health may...". (or maybe the italics alone would suffice). If it is supposed to be an extension/similarity of the original term, it could say "Relatedly, a person struggling with his or her behavioral health may..."

If none of this makes sense or doesn't matter, please forgive my intrusion. I have some other ideas too about improving the article but I wanted to get your initial response to these ideas. The other suggestions I have are just minor tweaks as well...  :)

Happy Editing!!

Origin of term "behavioral health".

Since a search of the term behavioral health redirects to mental health; one wonders about the origins of the term behavioral health which is gaining more currency. Facilities are naming their departments behavioral health treatment units as opposed to using the descriptor "psychiatric" or "mental health". Not that there was nothing sinister afoot but I imagine that pharmaceutical companies looking to promote off-label sales of their products might favor the vague and loose terminology implied with behavioral health perspective rather than the medical model, diagnosis perspective of "Psychiatric". That what's being treated is behavior not a specific illness.2602:306:3248:590:296D:229C:5E40:8A8D (talk) 14:05, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Joel Mindes[reply]

Joel, very interesting. read WP:RS and see what appropriate sources there are for supporting this. Then we can talk about them here. The shift in terms may also be due to an effort to de-stigmatize mental health, and to more accurately focus on how mental illness is observed (behavioral contributions or causes of mental illness). Also, the inverse, that behavioral changes or improvements are known to address and sometimes "cure" mental illness. We also know that behavioral changes are very measurable and can be a meter stick for whether mental heath treatments are actually working. Good chatting with you, will you keep your long alpha-numeric user name or go with Joel? --Cityside (let's talk! - contribs) 05:25, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mental illness vs. mental disorder

I noticed a recent change on the article about using "disorder" vs. "illness". I came upon the article after it was somewhat dormant and think that there's more to do overall. I think the concept of "health" as the "absence of illness (or disorder)" is challenging. For the best article here on WP, I think we should cite refs similar to the American Psychological Association, American Counselor's Association, etc. such as "http://www.apa.org/helpcenter/change.aspx". Here the authors discuss mental health as related to "mental wellness" and suggest it's possible, for example to have overall good mental health even if a person has a diagnosed condition or disorder, if that disorder is well managed or treated. What if we change the lede somewhat and take it in that direction? I would like to get good consensus in doing so, to develop the strongest article we can. Any thoughts on this? --Cityside189 (let's talk! - contribs) 22:46, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cityside189: Mental health is subjective. A lot of states labeled as disorders aren't considered that by everyone. Wikipedia seems to agree with the idea that doctors should define who's healthy and who is disordered. Health is defined by the World Health Organization as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (copied from health). The last part of the sentence imply an absence of "disease" is important to be healthy. Mental illness is a vague term, it is also stigmatizing.

OCD minor mental illness?

I have an issue with the following line from the article:

"Neurosis: Also known as psychoneuroses, neuroses are minor mental illnesses like phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and anxiety disorders, among others."

Is it really the case that something like OCD is a minor mental illness? I appreciate the fact that people with OCD don't perceive the world incorrectly, but from my own experience with OCD, I would have said that OCD certainly is a major mental illness. For example, someone can go from being able to work an 8-hour day to barely managing to do five minutes of work. That's a pretty major deal. 86.191.10.228 (talk) 02:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to also question, perhaps in a different manner, what qualifies mental illnesses as major or minor? It does seem that if a person has a disorder such as OCD or anxiety disorder, that these can affect every day living and functioning. Sohn.l (talk) 06:13, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Christopher Cortman and Dr. Harold Shinitzky coined the phrase "social black belt"

This material is off topic and/or promotional.

Dr. Christopher Cortman and Dr. Harold Shinitzky coined the phrase "social black belt" in their 2009 book "Your Mind An Owners Manual For a Better Life", Career Press. It refers to someone who has reached the highest level of social mastery. You can find tons of info, they really are becoming pioneers for social emotional learning, their accolades are lengthy, and their books used in colleges and universities.

unsourced para

I'm moving here an unsourced paragraph that was being used as an "example of a wellness model" (cf WP:WEIGHT):

An example of a wellness model includes one developed by Myers, Sweeney and Witmer. It includes five life tasks—essence or spirituality, work and leisure, friendship, love and self-direction—and twelve sub tasks—sense of worth, sense of control, realistic beliefs, emotional awareness and coping, problem solving and creativity, sense of humor, nutrition, exercise, self care, stress management, gender identity, and cultural identity—which are identified as characteristics of healthy functioning and a major component of wellness. The components provide a means of responding to the circumstances of life in a manner that promotes healthy functioning.

Happiness

There are 2 kinds of happiness, temporary and long lasting. Temporary happiness can be for example a lot of things that have to do with material happiness. Long lasting happiness is a deep fulfillment of your inner core. If you are not happy right now you need to do something different. You must break your patterns and look at life from a different perspective. Figuring yourself out is the first step in the path of getting you to a happy place the quickest. Happiness is a powerful thing to possess in life. A lot of people think they have, and very few embody it. For many people, having fun at a party, the excitement of new experiences, finding the right partner, achieving professional success, and being rich all ways of being happy. Those are all wonderful experiences to be cherished and cultivated but they are not happiness. Money and fame don’t mean everything and everyone with those things are not happy. You must figure out how to make your day in and day out happy, otherwise you will be impatient and try to buy happiness with your money. Happiness cannot be found in an end result, only the journey. Purpose is a fancy word for happiness, it makes you ask yourself why you are doing something or who you are doing it for. Happiness is when your life fulfills your needs. Happiness comes when you feel satisfied and fulfilled. Happiness is a feeling of contentment, that life is just as it should be. Perfect happiness, enlightenment, comes when you have all of your needs satisfied. We are all taught that striving to be happy and stay happy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeonJWebb (talk • contribs) 01:42, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

inter-generational dependence

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health includes "subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, inter-generational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential, among others."

I simply don't know what that phrase means in this context, without considerable extra-curricular digging of the kind that I come to Wikipedia so as not to perform.

Lifting a quote like this is great when it works, but it's a nuisance when it doesn't, because it's not amenable to being reworded for clarity. — MaxEnt 18:17, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Children and young adults

However, there are some people out there who have difficulty with these kind of skills and behaving like an average person. This is most likely the cause of having a mental illness.

I noticed there is no section on etiology, which is interesting because there is a section on treatment: and etiology has a direct bearing on how you treat an individual (and vice-versa; how you treat someone is based on what you think the problem is).
