GOOD FOOD, GOOD MOOD

Your diet is another important factor in helping you feel balanced, and eating the right things can have a hugely positive effect on your mood. Eating three meals a day at regularly spaced intervals will maintain your blood sugar levels and keep you from feeling hungry and irritable. Eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day is important too, as these will give you the right vitamins to help your brain function at its best. Vitamins B and C are particularly useful and can be found in citrus fruits and leafy vegetables. Avoid making salty and sugary foods into a habit, as these don’t nourish your body and can lead to health problems in the long run. In addition, try to minimise your alcohol consumption as it is a depressant and can disturb your sleep. Don’t feel you have to cut these elements out of your diet but, to take the best care of your body and mind, enjoy them in moderation!
