Hear here how we can enhance our mental wellness through our food intake. And thereby create our ability for using our voice and shaping our sanity!
The foods we eat influence how we feel about ourselves, our mood, our anxiety, and how we can with the food we eat enhance the body's  function to heal itself.  The foods we eat create chemicals that help us regulate our mood. 
You don't need to become a chef or shop in a very expensive supermarket. By paying attention to our nutrition, it helps us to support our mental well being. So this one is not giving you nutrition advice, because I'm not a nutritionist. I just want to inspire you to look for these small ways of being that you can totally use every day. And with every day that you practice them, you are making a significant influence and a positive impact on your way of being and feeling and even like your body's ability to heal itself. 
Your biggest fan,
Sibylle

Learn about how you can overturn your "brain fart" or forgetfulness and brain fog! There are a lot of helpful things we can do to protect our cognitive health. Believe it or not, the brain is composed of about half and half fat and water! Getting enough healthy fats in the diet will help nourish the brain - think things like olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds, and of course, omega-3 fats at least twice a week from seafood, ground flaxseed and chia seeds.    

Staying hydrated will also lubricate the brain and help it function properly. In the last few years, there has also been research on how excess sugars can "gunk up" the brain, and may contribute to the development of dementia.Focusing on building a plate with mostly proteins with healthy fats, vegetables and whole grains, limiting sugary drinks and treats to once or twice a week, and drinking at least 8 cups of fluids daily can help keep up brain health. There is also a lot of research that promotes the role of low-impact exercise & doing puzzles (think crosswords, sudoku, etc) on brain health.
