使用一个为期七天的周期菜单和小卖部项目在农村县监狱，我们描述了微量营养素的规定，已知与心理健康障碍，如果他们符合饮食指南。使用NutritionCalc® Plus软件（麦格劳-希尔教育版5.0.19）评估了七天周期菜单和四个可用小卖部食品包的营养含量，并与膳食参考摄入量（DRI）进行了比较。菜单中维生素B6、维生素B12、维生素C和锌的平均值符合DRI的建议。然而，维生素D（男性和女性），镁（仅男性）和omega-3（仅男性）不符合DRI的建议。由于维生素D、镁和欧米茄-3脂肪酸的缺乏会加剧双相情感障碍、焦虑和抑郁，因此食物的微小变化会增加营养素的供应和潜在摄入，从而改善心理健康。
Using a seven-day cycle menu and commissary items at a rural county jail, we described provisions of micronutrients known to be associated with mental health disorders and if they meet dietary guidelines. The nutritional content of a seven-day cycle menu and four available commissary food packs were evaluated using NutritionCalc® Plus software (McGraw-Hill Education version 5.0.19) and compared to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI). Menu mean values of Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and zinc met DRI recommendations. However, Vitamin D (for men and women), magnesium (for men only), and omega-3s (for men only) did not meet the DRI recommendations. As deficits of Vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s are known to exacerbate bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression, small changes to food would increase the offerings and potential intake of nutrients that may improve mental health.
