Low energy? Brain fog? Irritable?

Are you struggling mentally???

Did you know that nutrition can boost your mental health?? The relationship between our diet and our mental health is complex. Here are some small changes you can make to your diet that can have a positive impact on your mental health:

⏱🍽Eat regularly. This can stop your blood sugar level dropping, which can make you feel tired and bad-tempered.

💦💧Stay hydrated. Even mild dehydration can affect your mood, energy level and ability to concentrate.

🥑🥜Eat the right balance of fats. Your brain needs healthy fats to keep working well. Healthy fats are found in food such as as olive oil, nuts, seeds, oily fish, avocados, milk and eggs.

📦🛑Avoid trans fats - often found in processed or packaged food as they can be bad for your mood and your heart health.

🍓🥦Include more whole grains, fruits and vegetables in your diet. They contain the vitamins and minerals your brain and body need to stay well.

🍗🥩Include protein with every meal. It contains an amino acid that your brain uses to help regulate your mood.

☕️Be aware of how caffeine can affect your mood. It can cause sleep problems, especially if you drink it close to bedtime, and some people find it makes them irritable and anxious too.

Non-nutrition tip: Spend time outdoors and do activities you enjoy to boost mental health!!! If the activities you enjoy are outdoors, even better!!
