Mood & Food – is there a connection?
YES!
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) reports that 1 in 5 Canadians will experience mental illness in any given year. And by the age of 40, 50% of Canadians have either experienced mental illness or are currently struggling with it (CMHA).
What we eat makes up who we are and there are key nutrients needed to support mental health. The only way we can get them is through nutrient dense foods and good digestion. Consider this – our brain is greatly affected by our food choices – 25% of our daily intake is used as energy by the brain!
