Food and Your Mood!
from Counting the Numbers Hosted by Sarah Bailey
In this podcast, in conjunction with our campaign for Voices of Hope I am joined by Registered Dietitian Sarah Percy from Tea and Health Wellbeing, we talked about how food choices can affect your mood. What I loved about our chat was that it wasn’t all about giving your diet an overall, or a fad diet … alternatively just being more aware about how making the best food choices available to you may benefit your mood at work …and with repetition how you will see the longer term benefits on your mood as well! Sarah shared research from Deakin University and their SMILES (Supporting the Modification of lifestyle in Lowered Emotional States) trial. Which investigated if one improves their diet, will my mood improve? Great quick hacks to improve your food and your mood – Plan ahead .. what are you going to eat on your busy working day/week, and how can you plan and prepare rather than leaving it to chance! Get as much variety in your food (especially plant foods) to help your gut health Make small changes – don’t over think it - enjoy what you eat! Sarah Percy (and her business partner Clinical Psychologist, Sarah Donaldson) have worked with many workplaces, organisations and individuals, and imparted valuable tools that have enabled staff and individuals to perform better, increase resilience and better understand how to stay well.
