H- hunger. Hunger can be pysical or emotional need though today we are focusing on the more tangeable physical hunger. Meeting nutritional needs allows our bodies to operate at the highest potential, making us feel better. Healthy eating and eating habits are one of the biggest changes we can make to improve mental health. It can be a daunting task, changing our diet and giving up some of our not so supportive eating habits. Start small, be consistent. You don’t need to go and throw away your processed foods. I would recommend adding in one or two healthy options a week to feed your brain and body and slowly your body will be fine to crave the food which is truly feeding you. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out. 💕

Starting out our wellness topics I wanted to bring us back to basics. You might be familiar with this but it is so important. It is very simple but we often forget it. When we are struggling with low mood, anxiety, anger, mood swings, sadness ect I think the first place to look is within ourselves. HALT reminds us to STOP, and question if we are meeting any of these criteria.
Next week I will be focusing on H, hungry. With some nutrition tips for a healthy body and brain. If you have any specific questions about diet please send them my way so I can touch on them next week.
