The Importance of Nourishing Your Body
Did you know that the food you eat can directly impact your mood and energy levels? According to a nutritionist and author of "Brain Food," Dr. Lisa Mosconi, "What we eat affects the structure and function of our brain, and therefore, our mood, behavior, and ability to handle stress."
So, it's essential to make healthy food choices, especially on self-care Sundays, to support your overall well-being and reduce stress.
