The food we eat can have a profound effect on our mood and mental wellbeing. In fact, bodies of evidence now suggest that our diet is as important to our mental health, as it is our physical health.
The right balance of nutrients and vitamins is essential to create our happy and pleasure hormones –Dopamine & Serotonin and keep our cognitive functioning firing on all cylinders. And our blood sugar levels need to be suitably balanced to avoid the fatigue and low mood that comes with a sugar crash.
Did you know 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gastrointestinal tract and 70% of your immune system can be found in our digestive system? All the more reason to keep your intestinal microbiome topped up with ‘good bacteria’.
Lead by a Harley Street Nutritionist, this insightful 60 minute workshop will cover:
- The link between certain foods and poor mental health
- Understand what you should be eating to help make ‘happy hormones’ and boost the body and mind during times of stress, overwhelm and poor mental health
- Key nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed to support mood
- You’ll also learn about the fascinating connection between the mind and the gut (otherwise known as the ‘second brain’)
- How to navigate caffeine and alcohol when it comes to mood and anxiety levels
I learnt so much! Not least that we really need probiotics, prebiotics and omega3 in our diet.
The feedback I have received from the participants so far is hugely positive, with 100% stating the session was above their expectations.
This was amazing! I never thought about food in relation to mood, in such detail. Would love to have this kind of workshop again.
