Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Mental Health

Nutrition and Mental Health
Our brains are constantly functioning 24/7 to take care of our thoughts, movements, heartbeat, breathing, etc. This means your brain requires constant fuel. That "fuel" comes from the foods you eat — and what's in that fuel makes all the difference. Put simply, what you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain and, ultimately, your mood. 

Physical Activity and Mental Health
We all know how important exercise is for keeping us physically healthy. But did you know that exercise can also help keep you mentally healthy? Research shows that people who exercise regularly have better mental health and emotional wellbeing, and lower rates of mental illness.
