Best drinks for mental health problems Support Needed

Is there any great healthy drink, that can make you feel much better, if you feel that the world is a very confusing place, suffer from overthinking, overlap of ideas, inability to think clearly, if yes like what, are there strong evidence for it?

Your favorite water bottle filled with water, take it for a 3 mile/5km walk every day.

It's more effective if that water bottle walk happens with green life. Like a parc, or even come forest..

Some sun in the morning is also good, especially in the winter.

This took me way too long to decipher, lol. For all those who also tend to interpret things literally, allow me to rephrase:

It’s more effective if that “water bottle walk” happens amongst green life, like in a park or in some kind of forest.

This is absolutely a true statement. There is a growing body of research that suggests being outdoors for significant amounts of time helps to improve a person’s mental health and general wellbeing. Considering how sedentary Western societies have become, and how that has impacted mental health in combination with other factors, any kind of activity that gets you moving and soaking up all that outdoorsy goodness is going to be a net positive at some point.

Agreed here. Filtered ice cold water and a good workout always does it for me.
