November 23, 2018

Have you ever felt kind of ‘bleh’ even though you think you’ve been eating pretty good? Maybe there’s something missing in your life! Check out the physical and mental wellness boosters below to see if they might be what you need to get you where you want to be.

Fat

Don’t be scared of eating fat! We think that it’s actually gotten a bad rap through the years. Eating the RIGHT fats are thought to sharpen the mind, do wonders for your skin and even help with heart disease. Now, we aren’t telling you to go down a dozen cupcakes and eat a gallon of lard, but we are saying to be sure to add some healthy fats to your diet if you aren’t already eating them.

Roland Sesame Oil, $11.99

Justin’s Classic Cashew Butter, $7.49

Turmeric

This root from the ginger family has been a hot health trend for the past year due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It is thought to aid with digestion and help relieve chronic pain.

Numi Turmeric Tea, $6.30

Laird Superfood Turmeric Creamer, $9.99

Fish

Opting for a fatty fish like salmon or taking fish oil pills will give you a boost of omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids will give your brain and a body a recharge. Healthline even states that studies show there is a link between eating fish and lower signs of depression.

Greens

We’re going to be honest. Sometimes we even get behind in eating our greens. Which is so silly because we feel so much better after we get in some hearty servings of it. Whether you prefer kale, spinach, broccoli or Brussel sprouts, make sure they get in your belly!
