Healthy Diet Healthy Mind

To be as healthy as possible, it helps to include lots of so-called “power foods” in your diet. “Most of the evidence for brain health suggests a Mediterranean Diet,” Elkrief points out. That means a wide array of deeply-colored fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, seafoods and fermented foods, all super sources of vitamins, minerals, fibers, healthy carbs and fats, beneficial bacteria, and plant proteins. A high-quality diet rich in these types of foods helps keep you physically and mentally sound by providing protection against symptoms of chronic conditions like heart disease, depression and anxiety.

Interpersonal Conflict_Existential Psychotherapeutic Model

Dr. Vikas Bhatheja is a Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Accredited Mediator in private practice and a visiting lecturer at JJT University, Mumbai.

The paradigm he favours is Existential Phenomenological and he has a particular interest in how people experience, and engage with temporality.

Existentialism is common amongst all cultures and societies, and across all epochs.

We are never completely alone, but neither are we completely fused with another human being. Even if we withdraw from society, we still stand in relation to that from which we are apart. As beings that are capable of , if not condemned to, exercising freedom, sometimes in contradiction to an other's intentions, we stand as possible  opponents to the will of another.

Each of us is unique. No one else shares the particulars of their birth (where, how and to which parents), or the exact time and place that they occupy right now, but we all share the same concerns.

And we may share similar hopes and ambitions, but how these are realised, or valued, can be the source of conflict.
