Improve your eating habits to improve your mental health.
Even if you don't have mental health problems, these tips will help improve your physical and mental well-being.
Eat regularly. Regular meal times can help prevent blood sugar levels from dropping, which can make you feel tired and affect your mood.
“Drink enough water every day. Mild dehydration can affect your energy levels, mood, and ability to concentrate. Also, eat the right balance of good fats. Your brain needs healthy fats to function properly, and you can find good fats in superfoods such as fatty fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil, rapeseed oil, avocados, eggs and milk,” says nutritionist Strokov, especially for MedikForum.
Strokov gave other nutritional tips:
- Avoid trans fats found in processed or packaged foods because they are bad for your mood and heart.
- Eat a balanced diet and eat plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. These foods are full of vitamins and minerals that your brain and body need to stay healthy.
- Include some protein in every meal. Proteins contain an amino acid that your brain needs to regulate your mood.
- Maintain proper gut health. Your gut can reflect how you feel and can speed up or slow down if you're stressed. Healthy foods for your gut include beans, fruits, vegetables, and probiotics.
- Limit your caffeine intake, which can affect your mood. Caffeine can cause sleep problems, especially if you drink it before bed. It can also make you more anxious and irritable.
