Stressors to your mental health have never been more prominent. Changes in environment and society have seen a sharp rise in reported cases of ailments such as anxiety, depression, stress, chemical imbalance and worry. However it is labelled, it is safe to say it is becoming an epidemic.

In many cases the symptoms are uncontrollable. How people react to certain stressors will never be able to be explained away in a blog like this.

But,

In my experiences the effects can be lessened to an extent. Think of it as a car running at 100mph, sometimes you are Lewis Hamilton fully in control, and then sometimes you are a 4 year old toddler yanking at the wheel!

The effects Diet can have.

Ever heard the phrase “a tidy desk is a tidy mind” Well I follow the same concept but the desk is my mind, my personal workspace. Positive eating is a positive mind. Your gut is directly linked to the brain. Look it up…………brain freeze anyone?

Your plate of food has a direct correlation on your mood. If you eat something that is bad for YOU chances are the symptoms are going to include, fatigue which in turn means agitation, which in turn means lack of concentration, which in turn means lack of production. The snowball is now giving Lewis Hamilton a run for his money.

Control what you can control. Lessen the impact your diet has on you and your mental outlook, it is basic psychology. In the words of the great Deion Sanders “If you look good, you feel good, If you feel good, you play good, If you play good, they pay good.”

Remember, mind body and soul……………………In that Order
