Abstract in brief

Inflammation is a key factor linking many leading causes of death, and both diet and psychological stress can influence it through common biological pathways like inflammation-related signaling and cytokine production.
Stress not only affects inflammation directly but also influences food choices and metabolic responses, creating complex interactions where unhealthy diets can worsen stress and mood, and vice versa, with the vagus nerve playing a crucial role in this brain-gut connection.
Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids can improve mood and reduce inflammation by activating the vagus nerve and suppressing inflammatory pathways such as nuclear factor kappaB, highlighting the importance of understanding how stress, diet, and inflammation interact for better health strategies.
