Description
Excellent nutrition is vital for proper and optimal mental health but not all nutrition comes on a plate!
In this course you will be introduced to two new concepts in integrative nutrition: PRIMARY FOOD & SECONDARY FOOD! The relationship between nutrition and mental health is bidirectional: the foods we eat affect our mental health, and our mental health status affects what and how well we eat.
PRIMARY FOOD FEEDS US, BUT IT DOESN’T COME ON A PLATE. SECONDARY FOOD IS WHAT YOU EAT OFF YOUR PLATE! The link between nutrition and good mental health is becoming more and more obvious as research in this area continues to deepen. Today, the rapidly growing field of nutritional psychology is discovering how crucial what you put in the body is for maintaining a sane, happy, and well-functioning psyche.
Nutrition, as researchers are finding, is just as powerful an influencer our mental health as it is our physical health. In this course we take a deeper dive into the various aspects of nutrition and mental health challenges:
