Nutrition has always been an issue for me, carbs and sugar are very much my downfall. I have now committed myself to my mental health and fitness journey and a huge positive contributing factor to that is eating healthier and ensuring my body now gets the nutrition it needs. My lifestyle is changing and I need better eating and drinking habits for my body to heal and be able to progress.
The 1st change I have made is drinking water, I barely drink water which I know is awful but this journey is about honesty and honestly some days I don’t even drink a glass of water. So that was the 1st thing that needed to change, I have frozen berries and a scoop of collagen in my water bottle. I then use the berries to get a portion of fruit down me, I’m really not a lover of fruit so the past two mornings I’ve added it to a protein yoghurt for my breakfast. Any tips on a healthy way to eat my portion of berries are very welcome. I then refill my water bottle and drink that.
I’m making gradual changes as I get easily overwhelmed and I don’t want to affect my mental health or have my brain process these changes as anything but positive. I’m happy with the start I’ve made, it’s been a long time coming. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #ptsd #ptsdrecovery #healthyeating #healthyfood #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #healthybodyhealthymind #nutrition #recovery #recoveryjourney #exercise #runningtherapy
@EmandEmz yes! Please add complex carbohydrates such a banana or oatmeal, they function as a mid range energy source so you can endure your daily activities
