Some of us have by now heard about the "Vagas Nerve" which is a covering of the stomach and intestines that connects thru the spine to the brain. That old saying, "you are what you eat" bodes well for this neural process. If we eat well (nutrition wise) we feel well and may have a more positive mental outlook.
Below is a small article with many links to more information about this. Originally published in "Outside" in 2018 it may be worth one's time to give it a read....see what you think....and discuss it some in this thread.
You may not care for leafy green vegetables, but they can play a big role in how you feel. As kids we may have bulked at eating them but by seasoning them with flavored vinegar(s)
they may have been easier to consume.
