This World Health Day, we are shining a light on how nutrition, exercise and mental
well-being are all connected. What we eat, how we move and how we care for our
minds all work together to support overall wellness!
Fuelling Your Body and Mind: The Role Of Nutrition
What you eat can impact more than just physical health - it also plays a role in
mental clarity and mood. A balanced diet that includes:
✅ Healthy Fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil) – Supports brain function.
✅ Protein (lean meats, fish, beans) – Provides amino acids that help produce
neurotransmitters.
✅ Fibre& Complex Carbs (whole grains, vegetables, legumes) – Help maintain
steady energy levels.
Simple Tip: Try adding more colourful fruits and vegetables to your meals to get a
variety of nutrients that support overall well-being.
Move for Mind& Body: The Exercise Connection
Exercise isn’t just great for physical health - it also plays a role in stress
management and mood regulation. Activities like:
✔️ Walking or jogging
✔️ Yoga or stretching
✔️ Strength training
Simple Tip: Even 10-15 minutes of movement a day can make a difference. Find
something you enjoy and make it part of your routine!
How Supplements Can Play a Role
While a balanced diet should always come first, certain vitamins and minerals can
help support your overall wellness:
Omega-3s – Found in fish oil, they support brain function.
Magnesium – Magnesium helps support muscle relaxation and the function of
the nervous system.
B Vitamins – Help support energy production.
Probiotics – Support gut health, which is linked to overall wellness.
Reminder: Always check with a healthcare professional before adding new
supplements to your routine.
