<p>Two literature reviews from assistant professor <a href="https://publichealth.gmu.edu/profiles/rbasiri" target="_blank">Raedeh Basiri</a> show that poor nutrition plays a dual role, contributing to both the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and impacting mental health, including anxiety and depression. According to the findings, mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and diabetes is also linked with an increased risk of developing depression and anxiety. Nutrition interventions can aid in both of these health issues. </p>
