Food and Mood

It's widely known that nutrition plays a key role in our physical health. But studies also show that nutrition directly affects our mental and emotional well-being, too. 

In other words, what we eat may also affect the way we feel.

Research shows that unhealthy eating patterns can cause mood swings. Studies also show that some foods help improve your mood, outlook and emotional health. Important nutrients in food affect brain chemistry, impacting mood, memory and cognitive function. 

In this program, registered dietitian Lauren Crosta from Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, will talk about how what you eat can affect your overall health - and what foods in particular can nourish your mind, body, and spirit.

The program is open to all but registration is required.
