Helping others is what gives meaning to our lives and it's good for our mental health and it's good for the world.
Can what you eat really change how you feel? In this eye-opening episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Bonnie J. Kaplan, the brilliant author of 'The Better Brain: Overcome Anxiety, Combat Depression, and Reduce ADHD and Stress with Nutrition'. Kaplan, a Professor Emerita at the University of Calgary, shares her extensive research on how nutrition can be a game-changer for mental health.
Forget just popping pills; Kaplan suggests that what we put on our plates can significantly impact our brains and emotions. She dives into the nitty-gritty of how poor nutrient intake can heighten the risk of mental illnesses like anxiety and depression. But it's not all doom and gloom; Kaplan also offers practical advice on how to use multivitamins and minerals to support mental well-being. Ever wondered if those processed foods are doing more harm than good?
Kaplan tackles this too, explaining how they can disrupt our microbiome and overall health. She even touches on the importance of supporting local food producers to improve our diets. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt discussion on life's deeper meaning and the joy of helping others. If you're looking to take control of your mental health through better eating habits, this episode is a must-listen.
