Amare Global: Eating well can contribute to good mental health

Amare Global is a nutraceutical company with a vision to lead the global mental wellness revolution through holistic platforms. Their products combine ancient natural wisdom with modern scientific techniques to develop natural products and programs based on the emerging science of the microbiome. The company also believes that your diet plays a key role in your mental health – you have to eat well for you to be able to function well.

So how do you eat well in order to boost your mental health? First, you have to increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products, as well as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. It is also recommended that you eat foods that are low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt, and added sugars. A Mediterranean diet is a good example of a diet that puts an emphasis on protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.

Second, you must eat consistently throughout the day. Don’t skip your meals, as eating regularly provides your brain and body with a steady supply of fuel. It also prevents your blood sugar from dropping. Sticking to regular meal times also keeps you from being really hungry at the end of the day and making poor food choices.

Third, you need to snack smart. Instead of going for the vending machine or having greasy fast food delivered, Amare Global recommends that you pack healthy snacks, such as nuts (which are considered brain food), whole fruits, sliced vegetables such as carrots and cucumber that you can dip in hummus or low-fat dressing.

Remember that when you eat right, your body will function right and you will be able to sleep well, have enough energy, and be in a good mood – all of which contribute to your mental health.
