Eat well feel well - Work Ready in-person workshop
About this session
We all have good days and bad days. But the food and drink choices we make have a bigger influence on how we feel than most of us realise. Our brains rely on a range of nutrients to function well, and what we eat affects our mood, focus and resilience.
