Abstract

Introduction: Emerging evidence is linking diet quality to several neurobehaviors as several nutrients modulate brain chemistry. However, it is still unknown how diet quality impacts stress mindsets and resilience. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to fill this gap in the literature. Methods: Participants (N= 811) completed an anonymous internet-based survey assessing diet quality, stress mindset, and resilience levels. Results: Novel relationships emerged between dietary quality, stress mindset, and resilience. Conclusion: Knowledge of these emerging relationships can be valuable to both public health and university culture. Findings from this study could potentially demonstrate how proper nutrition could be an integral component of mental wellbeing.
