Life be hard, and no one needs me to tell them that. Working, dealing with family, trying to have a social life, whether it’s on social media or in the physical form, I could go on and on. It can all get quite frustrating and tiring. Keeping the mind in order is very important.

There are many ways of keeping our mental health in check and one thing many people overlook is their diet. I’ve always been a strong believer in the benefits of sticking to a mainly healthy diet.

Oh, believe me when I say, I love treating myself to the odd bit of junk; pizza, chocolate, crispy bacon, and a glass or two of red wine. But when I’m eating more bad than good, I get achy, fatigued, and I find it harder to concentrate.

It’s all about the balance!
