Dr Hazel Wallace

Dr Hazel Wallace founded The Food Medic in 2013, a blog about health, confidence, happiness and feeling great.

FOOD + MOOD • Those butterflies in your tummy, or the really strong 'gut feeling' you can’t ignore–it’s a sign that your body and brain are talking to each other. We call this the ‘Brain-Gut axis’ and it’s one of the fastest growing areas of research, in both medicine and nutrition. Likely because, not only does your brain have an impact on your gut health, but your gut, and the food that you eat, influences the brain - and your mood. • Athough, there is no evidence to suggest that food should completely replace the standard treatment of mental health disorders, and no single food can ‘cure’ depression, we do know certain foods/nutrients confer benefits for our mental health and nervous system: 1️⃣Omega 3 fatty acids, sources include:fish such as salmon and mackerel, flaxseed, + walnuts 2️⃣Vitamin B12 + Folate - Vitamin B12 is found only in animal foods such as red meat, eggs + fish, or plant foods which are fortified, so should be supplemented if you exclude animal products.Folate is found in lentils and leafy green vegetables - think folate = foliage = green plant foods 3️⃣Probiotics and prebiotics - probiotics are live beneficial bacteria that are found in some fermented foods such as kefir, kombucha, kimchi,and yoghurts which contain active, live cultures Prebiotics are soluble fibres which feed the good bacteria in the gut, found in foods such as; artichokes, onion, garlic, chicory, asparagus, and leeks ps. This is only a whistle stop tour through a huge topic but hopefully it’s been helpful ❤️ @ellisparrinder #thefoodmedic #hazelwallace #thefoodmedicforlife #goodmoodfood #mentalhealthawarenessweek2018 #mentalhealthawareness
