Mental Health Awareness Week
Good Mood Food
Our connection with food runs deep, shaping not just our physical health but also our mental well-being. Nutrient-rich foods, like omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and complex carbohydrates from whole grains, fuel our brains and regulate mood. Conversely, diets high in processed foods contribute to inflammation and mental health issues. Recognising this relationship highlights the importance of a nourishing diet, not just for our bodies but also for our minds, making mindful eating a path to both physical and emotional vitality.
