Mental illness rates are on the rise in America. This is due to a lot of different factors but a factor that many folks don’t associate with mental health is the food they’re putting into their bodies. We are literally what we eat, our cells are made up of the macro and micronutrients we decide to consume, including our brain cells. When we are not providing our bodies with the sufficient energy and nutrients it needs, negative physical and emotional symptoms start to arise. Eventually, these symptoms have the power to contribute to the development of many different mental illnesses or exacerbate an already present condition.
To help us understand this relationship between nutrition and mental health a bit more, I’ve brought on Justin Bethoney, author of The Mental Wellness Diet. In this episode, Justin and I discuss the factors relating to mental health, inflammation, nutrient density, and some potential areas for improvement that you can start working on at home.
