Eating for Happiness
There is a strong correlation between diet, lifestyle and wellbeing. For students this can affect their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, which can impact their performance in their learning ability, sports performance and relationships with peers. Good nutrition has become, now more than ever, an effective solution to address many of the health issues that young people are facing. Home cooking and dining is an integral aspect of family bonding as well as healthy and mindful eating practices to combat the increasing effects of ill-health brought about by hectic lifestyles with an increased reliance on packaged and processed food. These foods laden with hidden sugars, trans fats, food additives and preservatives have a negative impact on wellbeing in both the short and long-term affecting mental, physical health and emotional health.
