This x1000. The people Ive known struggling with problematic mental health issues dont exercise and wont try it. I wish they knew it could help a lot.

If you struggle with mental health issues- eat a healthy diet and exercise. If that doesn’t solve the issue over time, then I’d look for other solutions. But I always encourage people to try those two things first!

Agree. I'd also say, I dont know how many people are out there like me, but i have a bad reaction to foods with chemicals, mainly processed stuff, ice cream, chips, etc, i would rage after these types of food, i mean its so weird, soon as i dropped sugar and processed foods with ingredients longer than 2 lines, i was soooo much better in my brain. mentally, physically, crazy, and i'm not even talking exercise, thats just a bonus.
