Many people may try different avenues to improve their mental health, such as physical activity, cleaning, or meditation. However, many do not connect their eating habits to their mental health. By eating nourishing, non-processed foods, you can greatly benefit your well being, both in the body and in the mind. If you were to eat 3 meals a day, you would feel energized and have the ability to focus. It can also deter the amount of mood swings you may be having.

Now that we understand the benefits of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we can begin diving into WHAT you consume and how it affects your mental health. Those that rely more on fast food are prone to depression and anxiety, so even though that burger may sound good, there are better options. It is not the food that is the issue, it is the ingredients and the way the foods are prepared. By making a burger at home, you can ensure that the benefits of the meal are not outweighed by the cons. Eating fruits and vegetables can balance your sugar levels, while eating meats and starches can help maintain your energy levels throughout the day with carbohydrates and proteins. Think about how you eat, think of how you feel, and think of tomorrow.
