How are you nourishing your body during this time? I’m finding a balance between love-filled, delicious, rainbow-colored, home-cooked meals and chemical-laden, delicious, beige-colored, processed, comfort foods . . .
Did you know that up to 90% of our serotonin is created in the gut? You know - serotonin - “the happy chemical”? It’s mostly created in the gut! There’s evidence that our diets can even affect our moods. Crazy, huh?
So while it may be tempting to sit around all day eating Oreo’s, it may be a good idea to limit the processed foods, sugar, and booze while your nervous system is already in overdrive. But allow yourself to find comfort and solace in some good old-fashioned comfort foods too (hello, Easy Mac!).
Hope y’all are staying safe, sane, and satiated!
