🌍 World Mental Health Day | October 10
Stress doesn’t just affect your mind; it leaves lasting marks on your body, too.
Chronic stress fuels inflammation, which over time can damage the glycocalyx, the protective lining of your blood vessels.
When this lining breaks down, blood vessels become more susceptible to high blood pressure, clotting, and the development of long-term cardiovascular disease.
The good news? Supporting your mental health also strengthens your vascular health.
✨ Practice daily stress relief (walks, breathing exercises, meditation)
✨ Prioritize quality sleep and rest
✨ Nourish your body with anti-inflammatory foods
✨ Stay connected — community is medicine
Caring for your mind and your heart go hand in hand. 💙
Research also points to the benefits of Vitamin D3 + K2, Omega-3s, and a low-carb, anti-inflammatory diet in supporting both mood and memory.
