Without going into religious or belief issues, what we eat does influence our physical and mental well-being, which by extension affects for better or worse our emotional and behavioral well-being.

Such is the case that not only what we eat, but also how, when and how much we eat. Grains do not have the same benefit if they are consumed with less cooking time and whole than if we make pasta by grinding them or do not consume them at all by straining only the broth. In addition, eating the most energetic foods before 3 pm is healthier since the circadian rhythm declines after 5 pm and the metabolism is reduced.

There are foods that provide essential amino acids such as Tryptophan, which intervenes in tranquility and sleep. Milk is one of them, that is why our grandmothers were not wrong when they said "a warm glass of milk improves sleep."

Children with malnutrition have concentration and learning problems.

It is true that excesses are always bad, so there is a saying here that says "you must eat to live, not live to eat"

And finally, one that is often heard is "a full belly, a happy heart"

So what we eat, when, how and how much we eat has a lot to do with our physical, mental, emotional and behavioral well-being.
