Podcast #36: 5 Ways To Improve Your Mental Wellbeing

In this week’s podcast I explore interconnected aspects of mental well-being. including practices like yoga for improved mood and examine the link between dehydration and increased feelings of anxiety and depression, emphasizing the importance of adequate water intake for mental health. I also talk about the powerful benefits of kindness, both giving and receiving, for enhancing happiness, reducing stress, and fostering social connections. Also protein in your diet is crucial for supporting neurotransmitter function and overall mental health, and it’s important to remember the negative impacts of sugar intake and the importance of iron for mood.
