Hello Love! Welcome back to my space! As the seasons change so do many of our moods. As someone that has dealt with seasonal depression since as far back as I can remember, I know now is the time to double down on being intentional about the way we nourish our bodies. Not only does the way we nourish our bodies have an impact on our physical body, studies have shown that the food we consume impacts our mood and overall wellbeing.
I know from personal experience that what I eat greatly impacts the way that I feel! As we move into these moody months, be mindful of what you are consuming and lean towards the foods that make you feel light, energized and satisfied.
Yesterday was day 2 of my cycle so I was gravitating towards foods that would alleviate any symptoms like bloating, indigestion and cramps. I was also focusing on high iron foods to replenish lost vitamins and minerals.
