Food, Mood and Wellbeing
Exploring the fascinating relationship between diet, health and behaviour, this course is as relevant to staff as it is to service users and clients.
Food for Thought
Historically it was believed that the brain was in charge of our decisions, behaviour and mood but research increasingly points towards the gut being one of the most powerful players when it comes to determining internal wellbeing. Previous attendees have said that this course made them 're-evaluate everything' they thought they knew about food, and it taught them 'more about nutrition in an hour' than they had 'learnt in a lifetime'.
