Breastfeeding is the key element of infant feeding and has played a vital role in promoting infant
health throughout history. It provides all the necessary nutrients for infants to grow and develop.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends initiating breastfeeding right after birth and
continuing with exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months, followed by complementary feeding
up to 24 months of age. The WHO has also set targets to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates by
2025. As scientific research has advanced, the benefits of breastfeeding for infant health have become
increasingly apparent, not only for metabolic diseases but also for cognitive health. As a result,
researchers have started examining whether breastfeeding has any neurological or psychological
effects on lactating mothers. In this review, we examined current research on the neurological and
psychological effects of breastfeeding on women.

The human mind receives, perceives, and processes visual and auditory input daily from the everyday
world of art and culture as an esthetic neural experience involving several regions of the cerebrum.
It is important to comprehend how this process of neuroesthetics works and how it affects each
individual’s emotions and behavior. This article will incorporate various clinical scanning techniques
and methods to examine the anatomical cerebral structures where the effects of external neuroesthetic
stimuli can be correlated with its resultant neural cognitive response. The effects of neuroesthetic
stimuli on the clinical improvement in patients experiencing depression, cognitive decline, and
other forms of behavioral manifestations will be reviewed. The results of these studies (including
international examples, along with various comparative analyses) demonstrate the beneficial effects
of art on the pleasure centers of the brain and its consequent positive effects on patients’ behavior and
emotions, thus exemplifying the short‑ and long‑term importance of incorporation of neuroesthetics
in not only the clinical setting but also in our global society.

Recent years have seen a surge in psychiatric diseases, which has resulted in considerable disease
distress and considerably decreased living conditions. Many considerable synthetic medications have
been used to treat these illnesses throughout the years, but they have been found to have limited
effects and substantial recurrence risks in many individuals. Mental illnesses such as depression
and anxiety are persistently on the rise around the world, posing serious challenges to the affected
person’s and their family members’ personal lives. There is mounting evidence that suggests the gut–
brain axis (GBA) contributes to the genesis and development of psychiatric diseases. This review
focuses on contemporary dietary therapies such as Mediterranean diets and dietary supplements
and emphasizes nutrition’s critical role in psychiatric care through the GBA. Several research have
indicated that dietary quality affects mental health because it controls metabolic processes, has
anti‑inflammatory and antiapoptotic characteristics, and promotes neurogenesis and synaptogenesis.
This study demonstrates many dietary components, their relationships to depression, and how they
work. The use of dietary recommendations to support mental health appears to be a novel, affordable,
useful, nonpharmacological intervention for people with mental problems.
