Your brain is always working hard to allow you to think, move, breath – survive, even when you’re asleep. So, it only makes sense that what you fuel your brain with, e.g. what you eat and drink, will affect its function and consequently your mood and mental health.
Healthy foods like fresh fruit and veg contain vitamins and minerals to nourish your brain, whereas a diet high in convenience and refined foods like sugary snacks and processed meat can be harmful to the brain. In fact, multiple studies have linked a diet high in refined sugars with impaired brain function and depression. Try to eat a varied diet packed full of plants and all the nutrients you need to thrive. What you put in your body has such a profound effect on your overall health.
