a celebrated food and travel writer who is unbiased. This will help me in explaining Mr.

Birch’s experience in London. Which will collaborate to help me discus how ingredients

in food effect a person’s mental health. In another word this article will help me explain

the differences in the two types of food which had different effects on Mr. Birch’s mental

health.

between the inflammatory potential of habitual diet and mental health. The recent result

of this study conducted by many medical experts and Universities concluded that a pro-

scientifically explain how certain foods that are known to be pro-inflammatory could

affect a person’s anxiety and depression.
