How Food Affects Mood
In this day and age, it is common knowledge what we should be eating to remain healthy, strong and to boost our immune system. This video piece written by Marie Orford who is a Dietician with over thirty years of experience within the National Health Service in the UK goes beyond that knowledge. She shares:-
- How food works to support resilience of both body and brain – so you know about the main key processes you can’t see or feel
- What steps might suit you as an individual or member of a family, towards making a positive difference to overall wellbeing
- That studies show a direct ‘dose-response’ relationship between quality of diet and risk of common mental and physical health problems, so even small changes, which you can build on later, can make a difference.
- Reminders that your body is naturally adaptive, amazing and resilient.
