• Abstract:

  There is a direct link between what a person eats and his or her health; however, there are aspects such as emotions and physical activity, which can enhance health or disease. For the purposes of this article, only the emotional effects on the quality of food intake and its relationship to a healthy lifestyle will be reviewed.
  The hypothesis defended in this article assumes that the more emotionally mature a person is, the better his or her relationship with food will be, habitually choosing those that contain more nutrients, more ecological elements and less excess fats, sugars, white flour and preservatives, and therefore, will include less hyperprocessed products. Two central sections are presented, the first is linked to emotional health, its concepts and implications, and its affectation with the type of food intake; the second section focuses more on generating alternatives to promote the basis of a quality diet and a healthy university lifestyle.
