People really underestimate how much the body influences the brain (brain in the sense of soul-emotions-feelings not physical brain). Cartesian dualism was a mistake.
You know how women say that they eat chocolate when they are depressed? well they are right, it works.
Food should not be just high calorie (or low calories) slop to keep you running. It should be important part of life and mental health.
Comfort foods, eating always the same thing, buying the same sweets you bought when you were a kid, all that matters. And the context of what you are eating matters as well.
It's part of why collective food eating was often a collective ritual hidden beyond layers, that stuff is therapy, it does make you happier.
