Description
Do you suffer from stress, anxiety or depression?
Would you like to know about the effects that diet can have on the symptoms of these conditions and what dietary changes may help you?
Then this course is for you.
Many people have to deal with these conditions on a daily basis and many people want to find simple, natural ways to help themselves. We all have some idea of what is good and bad but this information is not always correct and I feel that it helps to know why certain foods can affect your mood.
In this course I will cover the main areas where diet has been known to affect mental health in a simple and easy to follow way. I will discuss ways to make changes in diet easier and give plenty of information to enable you to look further into the relationship between diet and health.
This course is packed with information covering two main areas, what you should eat (vitamins and minerals, fruit and vegetables etc) and what you shouldn't eat (sugar, caffeine etc). It summarises the research and gives guidance for making changes in your diet. As well as the videos, this course includes a transcript and many references for further research.
Who this course is for:
- This course is for people who want a better understanding of the link between their diet and stress and depression. No prior knowledge is required.
- This is suitable for those with stress or depression who know that they are not eating as well as they could and would like to improve their diet.
