Week 9 – Healthy Eating for High Performance
Mental health is more than just the way we think. It’s also what we eat, how we move, how we sleep, how we socialise and how we live. What may seem simple but is often forgotten, is our mental health affects our physical health and vice versa and can cause, for example:
-
IBS
-
Chronic pain
-
Migraines
-
Menopause
-
Autoimmune conditions
Stress – it’s a two-way thing! What we put into our bodies not only affects our mental wellbeing put it impacts our energy and productivity levels. To be able to perform to the best of your ability at work, remember to stay hydrated and eat nutrient-dense foods – and remember to prioritise taking a lunch break! Working through your lunch and not taking the time to refuel your mind and body will negatively impact your ability to perform at work in the afternoon.
