Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.
Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
The foods we do eat affect our Mental Health -5 Basic Food Groups
The five food groups are Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Protein Foods, and Dairy. If there’s one concept health researchers have come to agree on it’s this: What you eat matters!
Why? Because “the composition, structure, and function of the brain are dependent on the availability of appropriate nutrients.” There is clear evidence that diet has an effect on cognitive function later in life.
The foods that we eat do affect our moods, feelings, and cognitive function. A diet focused on fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains can help to boost mental health. We all need a boost.
Our goals should be a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to help improve our overall mood and general feelings of happiness.
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.
