At its simplest, food is fuel.
Though our preferences regarding taste and texture can vary widely, we
all rely on the foods we eat for energy. Most people are aware that it
is vital we consume a diverse assortment of foods if we aspire to
maintain a state of physical well-being. However, the intimate
connection between diet and our mental well-being is less understood.
Just as the nutritional components in food power the body, so too do
they power the mind. Some foods can impair cognitive functioning and sap
our energy while others heighten our intellectual prowess and make us
feel vigorous. What we eat and drink can have a powerful effect on our
ability to focus, mental clarity, mood, and stress levels.
Food allergies, which don't always manifest themselves in forms we
recognize, can also play a significant role in the maintenance of mental
health. Thus, for most of us, even a simple change in diet can have a
profoundly positive impact on our lives. Taking the time to explore
whether anxiety, muddled thoughts, or inexplicable tension can be linked
to a food allergy or food sensitivity can empower you to treat your
symptoms naturally. The benefits of a healthier, more personalized diet
are often felt immediately. Sugar, saturated fats, wheat, and dairy
products are frequently allergens and can stress the body. For people
that are allergic, consuming them can cause imbalances in the physical
self that have a negative effect on the body's ability to nourish the
brain. Water, fiber, nuts, unprocessed seeds, raw fruits and vegetables,
and vegetable proteins, on the other hand, support physical and mental
functioning by providing those nutrients we do need without additional
substances we don't.
A balanced, natural diet can ease mood swings, panic attacks, anxiety,
and mild depression. Intellectual clarity and agility is improved when
the mind receives proper nourishment. Even those individuals who are
blessed with the ability to consume almost any food can benefit from a
healthier and simpler diet. Since the mental and physical selves are
closely bound to one another, we must feed each the foods upon which
they thrive....<<<Read More>>>....
