An Excerpt From IHN's Nutrition & Mental Health Con Ed Course!
On Monday, June 21, 2021 IHN hosted a 1 hour webinar as Paul Demeda CNP shared how nutrition affects mental health. The idea that what you eat affects how you feel, is accepted by significant numbers of the public and healthcare professionals alike. It’s a pillar of mental health that is well supported by current research. However, food and nutrients are rarely considered as a key strategy for supporting cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. Mental health issues are predictably an ever-increasing problem in today’s world. The mainstream medical approach has issues with ineffectiveness and unpleasant side effects, which leaves many sufferers turning to the holistic approach for better solutions.

From baked goods to barbecue, cinnamon is used as a sweet and warming spice with a fragrant, comforting aroma. It comes from the dried inner bark of evergreen trees native to Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), and also cultivated in South America and the West Indies. In addition to its wide culinary uses, cinnamon protects the body from harmful pathogens and free radicals with its anti-microbial properties and antioxidants. It is highly regarded for its ability to improve sensitivity to insulin and its ability to lower blood sugar levels. For a balanced breakfast, whip up a batch of Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes from IHN graduate Yvette Nagy.
