There’s soooo much attention paid to the role poor nutrition plays in the global obesity epidemic, diabetes and heart disease, and so there should be it’s a serious issue. But very little attention is paid to the link between poor nutrition and depression, anxiety and suicide. Suicide rates are at an all-time with ‘the number of people who have taken their own lives in New Zealand [my home country] the highest since records began, with 668 dying by suicide in the past year’(1). I myself have had a family member die of suicide and can attest to what devastating effects this has on the family left behind.
