Question

Part B systematic review assignmentTask Based on your topic area frame a oad question of interest. Provide an introduction and rationale for your question. Summarise your findings regarding your question including key findings from the systematic reviews appraised in Part A as well as other information sources. Organise your findings to create a coherent picture of your topic of interest. What are your conclusions? Are there any gaps in your knowledge? What further research needs to be conducted? You may refer to reviews and additional papers about an intervention, the outcome, method of delivery, policy, impact, implementation etc to inform the response to your question. Note you should select a oad topic area that allows you to read a variety of types of literature (research articles, reviews, policy documents). You will be assessed on: • Rationale for the question • Relevance of material presented with regards to the study question • Depth and scope of material presented The points highlighted in above need to be addressed and the conclusions, gaps and further research should be drawn from the analysis of the data in the selected research paper.  Each individual student is required to submit an evaluation and synthesis of the papers submitted with regards to the study question being asked. What are your conclusions with regards to your study question? You are allowed to rephrase the study question to your individual opinion of what you believe it should be, and justify inclusion or exclusion of papers accordingly (this is part of evaluation). You are not required to re-run the search or find any additional papers. I suggest you carefully look at the structure of the papers you have selected to get an idea of how summarise and synthesise information. Your submission should be no longer 1500 words, plus any tables and/or figures of data extraction items, study selection, summary of evidence and reference list.

Introduction
It is necessary to consider and understand that food is an essential aspect of life and therefore, it can has severe impacts upon the health of individuals if not provided in adequate quantity and quality. Impact of poor nutrition have been well studied upon the physical health of individuals however, impacts of poor diet and nutrition upon mental health are not well known to common individuals2. Due to lack of nutrition in form of minerals, vitamins, proteins, fats and other essential macromolecules, issues such as depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and even obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can occur4. This systematic review presents a comparative analysis from the selected research article used in previous assignment. Further, efforts will be made in order to identify the gaps in study as well as to provide with certain recommendations for future research. 
Association between diet and mental health
Mental health is associated with the release of hormones that may depend upon number of factors such as pressure, anxiety, tension and all poor dietary patterns. This is majorly because nutrition is required in order to maintain a healthy brain as well as its functioning. Moreover, malnutrition may reflects its effects physically however, more than that it effects the mental health of individual5. Protein and fat content in food are the major building blocks in human body and therefore are responsible for muscle and formation of other tissue. Lack of these macronutrients from food will alter muscle formation and therefore would imply mental stress. 
Further, it would be essential to consider that hormones are the major factors that controls the mood as well as mental health of individuals. Moreover, serotonin is one of the most important neurotransmitter that has been found essential in order to maintain proper health by regulating sleep, moods, appetite and inhibiting pain11. Likewise, dietary patterns have been to be directly associated with the functioning of immune system and poor diet that may be lagging in essential vitamins and minerals have been found to weaken the immune system15. 
It is not only necessary to consumer good quality and nutrient rich food rather the timing of food consumption may also be found to be associated with changes in mental states. Not consuming food at the time of hunger maybe associated with irritated behaviour as well as angry mood with lethargic body movements and ineffective decision making17. Likewise, consumption of food with high sugars may increase the insulin levels suddenly and therefore affects the brain health and also consumption of fatty food is linked to obesity that may also result in hormonal misbalance16.
Impact of poor diet upon altered mental states in young adults
Poor diet is not only a reflective of lagging nutrients from the food rather it also reflects upon the quality, quantity as well as the timing of food consumption. Jacka et al.7 argued that diet has been found as a major factor affecting mental health, improvements in the quality of diet was associated with improved mental health and vice versa. However, results presented by Murakami Sasaki and Philipp did not show any relation between diet and altered mental health yet depression was found as a major mental disorder associated with dietary variables. Similar results were presented by McMartin et al.12 through their study upon Canadian youth and they suggested that diet was not found to be associated with any of the internalizing disorders because there was not significant correlation. Yet, children with higher variability in their dietary patterns have been found to reflect lower rates of internalizing disorders than the children with less dietary changes 24.
Despite of the studies reflecting no significant correlation between diet and altered mental health, Khalid, Williams and Reynolds reflected that a higher quality of diet rich essential amino acids and fats can lower the levels of depression however, the significant relationships were very small sized. Likewise, depression has been considered as a cluster of mental problems or it can be considered as an umbrella term for symptoms that may impact mental health. Healthy food such as fish oil, nuts, legumes, fruits, dairy products have been found to reflect an inverse relationship with depression. However, western dietary patterns such as fried food consumption, sweetened beverages,
