The Cultural Affairs Program presents a virtual talk — Nutrition & Mental Health: Can Your Diet Affect Your Mood? — with Registered Dietitian Wendy Beckman on Monday, March 22 at 3 p.m.
It’s common knowledge that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean protein and whole grains promotes better physical health. But does your diet affect your mood? Registered Dietitian Wendy Beckman will share insights into that and other questions about nutrition and mental health during a virtual discussion. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions.
Please visit www.hvcc.edu/culture for information on how to access and join the program.
All are welcome to hear more about the link between nutrition and mental health and what the latest research reveals (or conceals) about diet, food insecurity and mental health. For example, is it true that certain nutrients can cure depression?
