What we eat has a big effect on our physical health.

But actually, what we eat, has a crucial effect on our brain health.

What we put into our bodies, will have an impact on our wellbeing and our mental health.

• Eat a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits (vitamin C); oily fish, nuts, and seeds (Omega-3 fatty acids); get supplements for Vitamin D.

• Stay hydrated. Dehydration can impair cognitive function - our energy levels, moods, and memory function can be affected.

• Think of when you consume alcohol. It affects your recovery during sleep. It's a stimulant and also a depressant.

• Follow the 80/20 rule and don't bit yourself up for the 20% of the time when you might slip up or eat treats.

Being a bit more mindful about what we're putting into our bodies has a real positive effect on our brain health.
