Food and Mood

How does food impact our mental health? How can we eat healthily on a budget? How can we scale up or down a recipe according to our needs? How can we adapt meals to be more nutritious? Our new course will teach you these skills and give you the opportunity to find out more about how what we eat affects how we feel. We will also explore the impact of food on our physical health with a specific focus on managing and preventing Type 2 Diabetes.

What will I learn?

During the session, you will have the opportunity to meet new people and chat to our wellbeing team about any specific mental health needs you might have. You will learn more about how to prepare nutritious meals on a budget, how to increase or decrease quantities according to your needs and how eating well can improve your physical health and reduce the likelihood of developing Type 2 Diabetes.
