A great and helpful group topic recently was food and mood and how eating well can improve anxiety.
Our digestive system produces over 90% of our happy hormone serotonin
Having a healthy digestive system ensures we’re able to absorb the vitamins, minerals and nutrients our brain needs to thrive.
Fermented foods can give the good bacteria in our gut a boost assisting with serotonin production, these include kefir, kimchi, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and anything pickled.
Would you like us to share recipes for you to try at home?
Yes
Not fussed
Omega 3 deficiency is linked to low mood as these fatty acids make up 30% of our brain tissue. Eating more oily fish, seeds and seed oils such as flax, rape, hemp and pumpkin can have a positive effect on how well our brain cells function and communicate with each other and the rest of the body.
