Food is fuel and used in the right way, it can “boost energy, counteract the impacts of stress and affect mood-related body chemicals” (www.mhanational.org).
For the final full week of Mental Health Awareness Month, try some small changes:
- Cut out dessert a couple days this week
- Add an extra serving of fruit or veggies
- Start your day with a healthy breakfast
- Swap your snack for something healthy
- Try a new food!
On the other hand, try not to add too much stress to your week (and beyond) about eating healthy. Moderation is key!
