What you consume during the day can actually make or break your day. Fueling your brain with the right nutrients and a high-quality diet may increase focus, mood, and energy levels, eventually increasing productivity and promoting happy hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin.
When we are feeling low, we crave processed meals and sweet items, but they only provide a temporary boost and instead steal our energy. Your mental health is good and life is worth living when you feel energetic and have more control over your emotions. An unhealthy diet, on the other hand, may worsen your mental health over time. Eating fatty foods and sugary treats can cause inflammation and oxidative stress, which can lead to depression and anxiety.
If you are feeling down and on the edge of poor mental health, making the appropriate dietary choices can help you improve your brain health and reduce anxiety symptoms.
