25.01.2022 Eating for Good Mental Health Day 3 Magnesium rich snacks including dried fruit, seeds, almonds and dark chocolate (yum!) Good for: Anxiety, Stress and Depression Correcting magnesium deficits can alleviate depression and may help you feel less anxious. Magnesium boosts immune functioning too, which is lowered by too much stress. But maybe the best reason to include some of these foods in your diet is that its a mood boost! Eating small amounts of tasty treats, and really e...njoying them as you do, helps you to stay more disciplined with eating long term (as does a small, mindful break from any area of your life youre attempting to remain disciplined and focussed towards). Remember, more doesnt equal better: for optimum effects, focus on mindful enjoyment rather than quantities to get your magnesium fix. And if you think your levels might be seriously low, take a trip to the doctor and get that checked out See more

24.01.2022 Day 4: Fishies Good for: Depression Eating oily fish has been well documented as helping brain health and function overall, so its no surprise they could help with mental health, right? Fish are part of the Mediterranean diet as well as looking good in their own right for improving depression symptoms. For best results, think oily, which means anchovies on pizza, sardines on toast, adding canned salmon to a sandwich or salad at lunch, or ordering mackerel next time youre at a restaurant. Oily fish are more forgiving when you cook too, so theyre less scary to cook with. If youre still scared, check out the recipe below, which relies on residual heat to cook the fish so you cant overcook it. Plus, this recipe is full of magnesium too (see day 3 post)! http://www.dailymail.co.uk//Simply-Nigella-Salmon-avocado-

23.01.2022 Ever wish improving your mental health could be as simple as popping a pill: without the side effects of a pill? For the next 5 days, Im going to share with you the top 5 foods to eat more of for better mental health - the science is in, and some of the results will surprise you!

22.01.2022 The first food to eat more of to improve your mental health is: Beans! Good for: Depression The legume and pulses family are an essential (and the most neglected part) of the Mediterranean diet, the diet type thats been found to most reduce symptoms of depression. If youre worried about tummy troubles, opt for brown lentils and black beans, and make changes slowly. Easy ways to get more beans and pulses into your diet: Add brown lentils to a stew, make pea and ham soup,... add black beans to tacos and put chickpeas in salads. Happy Eating! http://www.jamieoliver.com//veget/cool-mexican-bean-wraps/ See more

21.01.2022 Impressive results from dietary change study that shows how what we eat effects our mental health. "Patients with major depressive disorders were put on a Mediterranean-style diet rich in wholegrains, legumes, fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil and nuts. After 12 weeks of healthy eating, researchers said one third of the participants reported a significant improvement in their mood and symptoms."... http://www.abc.net.au//mediterranean-diet-can-help/8224522

21.01.2022 Stuck for present ideas? The very best present to receive is positive feedback (this is an actual researched psychological fact, btw - people love praise more than rewards/presents). Take the gratitude challenge and this month, each day, give some personalised I love you for this... feedback. You can do it in Christmas cards, via text or email or just tell them! You can tell teachers, mentors, friends, family, co-workers, people you follow on Instagram, business owners, nei...ghbours, or that girl in your gym class who always works really hard. Not only will you make their day, youll also make yours: expressing gratitude is shown to improve your mood too! Committed? Comment below to increase your accountability!

14.01.2022 Day 5: Turmeric Coated Protein (Um, what?) Good for: Anxiety and Depression Protein rich foods contain an amino acid that helps improve serotonin levels, which can be helpful for social anxiety. But protein is found aplenty in meat and dairy products, so unless youre a vegan, you probably get more than enough protein in your diet. Level up your eating habits by adding turmeric. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory, and reducing inflammation in the digestive system is looking like part of the key to treating depression. Turmerics a mild, vaguely curry-like spice, so its an easy addition for a spice rub that you can then use to coat anything from lamb to tofu in. https://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-indian-styl/

13.01.2022 Do you find you get lost in your own life? That you end up reacting to circumstances, saying yes to invitations and dealing with crises as they occur, without ever really pausing to consider what you actually want to create in your life? Often the only time we stop and reflect on our lives is in the post-chaos of Christmas, when we make some New Years Resolutions that often dont survive the holiday season theyre created in. How about taking some time to reflect on your li...fe now, instead of waiting another 7 months? Taking half an hour to ask yourself 10 questions, and making 2017 the year you act, not react, and create a life you really, truly want? Check out the questions in the article below: http://www.lanahallpsychology.com//382005/10_questions.pdf

12.01.2022 Smell is an often neglected sense which has great power to lift our mood. This Sunday, why not work to surround yourself with scents that nurture you? Body care products, scented candles, fresh flowers, baking or roasting and even clean sheets are all great options to improve your mood and are inexpensive to use. Plus, finding out what scents work to lift your mood is a great way to increase your mindfulness - change and novelty pushes us into the present. Have a lovely Sunday, Lana

05.01.2022 Our second good mental health food group is: Fermented foods. Good for: Anxiety Foods like miso, sauerkraut, kimchi and the newly-popular-with-the-health-conscious Kombucha drinks contain probiotics generated as part of the fermenting process. Probiotics help improve gut health, which is increasingly linked to good mental health. Happy insides, happy mind. Fermented foods tend to have strong flavours. Try downing a Yakult drink once a day, or sipping on a Kombucha drink if you like things bland. Otherwise, sauerkraut is great with pork or cheese, kimchi can deliver a spicy hit to any asian inspired dish, and miso is a cheap, filling side to order at sushi train!

04.01.2022 "What do you do, reader, when the imps of agitation are upon you? When theyre running up and down your insides, each with his little wavering bouffant of blue flame, making the present tense an almost impossible place to be? Do you have a drink? Take a pill? Reach for your laptop? Shovel a drooping, dripping slice of pizza into your face?... Stimulated by everything, nourished by nothing, you gape yet more savagely with need: the real need, the intolerable need, the need be...neath the needs. So you dose yourself or distract yourself or stuff yourself." James Parker, The Atlantic, Intro to his article Puritans of Fitness A brilliant piece of writing that encapsulates a little concept us psychologists like to refer to as stress management :) How do you manage yours?
