In this episode of the positive peers podcast we are going to explore the relationship between food and mood both from a nutritional, and scientific perspective and also in the context of culture and personal memories. For this discussion, we will be joined by students from ‘King’s College London’s Nutrition and Dietetics’ and ‘Foodie’ societies.
We understand this can be a difficult topic for some to listen to because of difficult relations with food. We will be discussing aspects of a balanced diet, how we can implement this into our life, and how food interacts with our different cultures and memories. If you feel this may be difficult to listen to you can listen to one of our other podcasts and if you need support you can get in touch with Beat, UK at 0808 801 0811.
In this episode, the positive peers will talk about their experiences as first year students at university. Each peer comes from a different background with different experiences, expectations, and viewpoints on university. We hope that this candid talk brings a few laughs but also helps answer your questions on what it is like to start this new and sometimes challenging phase of life.
