KEY POINTS

What we put in our bodies has a direct impact on our brains and our overall well-being. Michelle Mazzara knows this all too well. She’s battled heart disease and discovered the transformative power of clean eating.

So, what’s clean eating all about?

It’s simple, really. It’s about ditching processed foods, sugary drinks, and artificial ingredients. Instead, fill your plate with whole, natural foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats.

Why does this matter for mental health?

Those processed nasties can actually mess with your brain, leading to mood swings, depression, and even difficulty concentrating. On the flip side, clean eating fuels your brain with the nutrients it needs to thrive. Ready to get started? Here are a few easy tips:

  • Ditch the junk: Say goodbye to sugary drinks, processed foods, and excessive caffeine.
  • Color your plate: Fill up on vibrant fruits and vegetables.
  • Move your body: Get active for at least 45 minutes, three times a week.

Clean eating isn’t about deprivation, it’s about nourishment.

It’s about feeling your best, both inside and out. So, let’s ditch the junk and embrace the deliciousness of real food. Your mind and body will thank you!
