More and more studies show the link between physical and mental health.  With about 80% of your immune system in your digestive track, what you eat really can impact who you are that day.  Serotonin is also produced in the digestive system, so your mental health is impacted by what you eat, too.

New to Tumblr--Day 1

So, I have known about Tumblr for years now, but never got around to creating an account.  Well, this year is about breaking into new things, challenging myself, and trying to spread healthy & accurate mental health education to as many people as possible.  Education keeps you alive.
