World Mental Health Day
In today’s busy world, we realise that not everyone prioritises their own mental health and wellbeing – including NHS workers. Although patient care is always a focus for anyone working in the health service it’s really important to take care of yourself too.
That’s why for Mental Health Day 2019, we have connected with some fantastic foodies and asked them for their healthy and happy food ideas in an exclusive recipe book. As well as this, we have also found some great foodie podcasts to help you look after your own well-being while you are on the go!
We want you to share your food photos for a healthy mind using #FoodforThought and tagging us!
Whether you are a Midwife juggling your young family or a Healthcare Assistant that fancies yourself as a bit of a chef, why not snap your snack!
Follow us, tag us and share your food using the hashtag #FoodforThought on either Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, and we will enter you into a prize draw to win one of 10 HelloFresh gift vouchers worth just under £50!*
