Food for thought....

The title summed up the day. The food for thought conference at the Kings Hall in Stoke on Trent was an excellent example of just what can be achieved if you're prepared to be bold. It was an ambitious programme filled with speakers who are leaders in their field. The big theme was how important diet is to your mental health and how much we can do to take better care of our mental well being.

Suggestions included half filling a jar with flax seeds, then topping the rest up with sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds. Keep it in the fridge and each morning grind a handful and add it to your cereal - ideally an oat based cereal. Easy - so I've been out and spent £1 on a big bag of mixed seeds and that's what I'm going to do!

Loads of other foody ideas too, which we're hoping to include some of on the web site.

Oh…and the buffet appropriately consisted of the most delicious collection of culinary delights I’ve ever encountered at a conference and of course, it was all healthy and great for your mental well being!

Well done to the magmh team, they deserve rich praise for having the courage to make it happen!

Sounds really interesting. I wish I'd been able to go. Hope you put a lot of what you learned on the website.
