InElena Koning and Elisa Brietzke "When you eat matters: How your eating rhythms impact your mental health" has stated in their article that apart from the 4 nutrients in the food, the timing of eating the food can also be highly significant to benefit the overall well being of the individual and not only it is important for physical health but protective against deteriorating mental health (Koning and Brietzke n.p.). The author has stated that an individual can lift and eradicate the negative mood just by maintaining the eating rhythms (Koning and Brietzke n.p.). The author emphasises the circadian clock and states that this enhances the brain's function to operate fully, it consumes up to 25 percent of the energy and is affected by the changes (Koning and Brietzke n.p.). The authors have formulated the article in order to understand the different implications of eating the proper foods and how it relates to the positive mental health implications. Reduced meal frequency can have been significant in reducing the cardiovascular functions (Paoli et al) (Koning and Brietzke n.p.). The intended audience of this article is to target the general public as it is an awareness article, furthermore, the authors also tend to attract the attention of some of the scholars regarding nutrition and how a proper eating rhythm can significantly affect the mental health of the individual (Koning and Brietzke n.p.). The evidence can be found in the use of language, which is simple and does not use the different digestive cycles (Koning and Brietzke n.p.). The simple language would attract the general public and raise the different awareness on how to maintain the eating habits of the individuals (Koning and Brietzke n.p.). I know this because the ideas of managing the eating rhythm can be highly significant in the process of understanding the different implications of mental health fluctuations and rather can uplift the mood of the individuals and demonstrate the different implications that can worsen the mood symptoms and also enhance the mood symptoms (Koning and Brietzke n.p.).
