Another reason to love eating
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you all! I’ve teamed up with my best friend, Abi Owens, a talented functional nutritionist to the stars, to bring you our brand-new series: "Eat Your Way To Better Mental Health."
We’ve both navigated our own health journeys—Abi with chronic fatigue and IBS, and myself with PCOS and insulin resistance. Together, we’ve learned so much about how food can significantly impact our mental well-being, and we’re excited to share these insights with you!
5 Surprising Ways to Eat Your Way to Better Mental Health
Balance Blood Sugar Levels: Maintaining stable blood sugar levels can help reduce mood swings and anxiety. Including high-protein foods and complex carbohydrates in your meals can keep your energy steady and your mind clear.
Reduce Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is linked to mental health issues like depression. Anti-inflammatory foods such as leafy greens, berries, and fatty fish can help keep inflammation at bay.
Support Gut Health: Your gut health is directly connected to your brain health. Probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut can improve your gut microbiome and, in turn, your mental well-being.
Increase Omega-3 Intake: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in foods like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds, are crucial for brain health. They can help reduce symptoms of depression and improve cognitive function.
Boost Antioxidant Consumption: Foods rich in antioxidants, such as dark chocolate, blueberries, and nuts, can protect your brain from oxidative stress and improve overall mental health.
