You Are What You Eat

We’ve all heard the old saying, “you are what you eat.” Just like our bodies, our minds are influenced by what we feed them.

Negative inputs like doomsday scrolling and self-criticism can impact our mental health.

Conversely, positive thinking yields numerous benefits.

It reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, while enhancing brain chemistry by boosting serotonin levels — the hormone responsible for those “feel-good” moments. On a physical level, positivity helps lower blood pressure and fortify the immune system.

It’s essential to nourish our minds with positivity for overall well-being.
