Is it possible to eat your way to a better mood? Can foods really impact how the brain makes you think and feel? The “Happy Eating Podcast” was created after we couldn’t find the information that we needed for ourselves and our families. Join us as we break down the connection between food and mental wellness as we explore how food, diet, supplements, and daily habits can make for truly Happy Eating.

Why Going Outside Is An Instant Mood Booster

Thursday Feb 10, 2022

We spend a lot of time indoors. In fact, statistics say we’re inside 87 percent of the day. But getting outside—even just for 5 to 10 minutes—has the power to be an almost instant mood booster and offers a whole host of other mental and physical perks. In today’s episode, we cover the mental health benefits of the great outdoors, as well as exactly how much time you need to spend outdoors, if one environment is better than another, and also how to bring the outdoors inside so you can reap some of the health perks when you’re stuck indoors - or if your not much of a nature person.
