As we all know, what we eat and drink can have a powerful effect on our ability to focus, mental clarity, mood and stress levels.
I’ve touched on this subject before. 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 that 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 zap our energy while others heighten our intellectual prowess and make us feel vigorous.
With that being said, this insert may be my personal confession of failure to adhere to a positive diet or a justification of “eating whatever I want regardless of the health benefits or harms, simply makes me happy”. Everything in moderation. Splurge once in a while, but don’t let gluttony become a habit. Enjoy every bite, but be conscious of how you react to the action of eating.
