B
Good,
thank
you
Also,
the
dossi.
We
have
a
few
questions.
The
first
is
Mental.
Health
is
always
an
important
community
health
issue
that
we
see
and
deal
with
in
our
center
In
the
last
three
years
with
the
pandemic,.
It
has
become
an
issue
of
even
more
importance
and
challenge,
Dr.
Morris,.
Can
you
share
your
ideas
regarding
Mental
Health
What.
Do
these
two
words
mean,?
Is
there
any
new
aspect
regarding
Mental
Health
that
our
patients
should
know
It's.
A
A
very
good
question:
Thank
you,
because
traditionally
in
Western
medicine,
we
have
thought
of
Mental
Health
as
an
imbalance
in
the
brain
in
brain
chemicals.
But
we
really
know
more
and
more
that
it
is
important
to
take
into
account
the
whole
human
body,
the
environment,
the
environment,
where
we
live
and
the
community
so
to
promote
Mental
Health.
We
have
to
promote
the
well.
B
A
Of
each
one
of
us
healthy
and
solid
relationships
and
justice
in
our
communities,
It
is
also
important
to
make
this
idea
of
.
The
connections
between
the
body
and
the
community
for
mental
health
is
nothing
new
and
has
many
cultures
and
systems.
Indigenous
health
professionals
have
already
been
practicing.
This
idea
for
thousands
of
years,,
so
we
can
learn
a
lot
in
medicine.
Now,
from
the
wisdom
of
these
ancestors,
really.
A
Well,
in
my
clinic
I,
see
in
our
clinic
I,
see
Many
patients
with
anxiety,
depression,
traumatic
stress
disorder
and
they
come
with
various
symptoms.
Some
come
with
insomnia,
tiredness
heart,
palpitations,
headaches,
stomach
aches
and
low
interest
in
doing
things,
and
it
is
important
to
recognize
that
it
is
normal
to
feel
like
this
from
time
to
time
from
time
to
time
and
have
an
emotional
reaction
to
the
stresses
we
face
in
our
lives,
and
we
really
have
been
going
through
a
lot
as
a
community.
Many
of
us
have
lost
loved
ones.
A
We
are
dealing
with
housing
issues,
employment,
unemployment,
family
issues
and
all
this
collective
trauma
we
It
affects
not
all
of
us
who
face
this
s,
challenges
we
are
going
to
have
a
Mental
Health
problem,
but
it
is
very
important
to
understand
that.
For
this
reason
the
rates
are
increasing
and
of
Mental
Health
problems,
and
it
is
important
how
to
save
and
do
things
to
help
our
mental
health
to
prevent
problems
later
on
as
well.
A
Yes,
food
is
medicine,
because
what
we
consume
gives
us
the
nutrients,
vitamins,
minerals,
that
the
body
needs
and
also
gives
us
the
fuel
and
energy
we
need
to
live
our
lives.
It
is
very
unfortunate
that
much
of
the
food
we
consume
and
that
we
also
find
in
restaurants
in
stores,
is
processed
food
and
that
food.
Although,
the
companies
that
manufacture
it
end
up
making
a
lot
of
money,
in

Very
good
pr
I
am
usually
asked
at
mgads.
My
patients
also
often
ask
me
what
they
should
eat
and
I
love
to
promote
A
balanced
diet
is
worth
that.
It
involves
a
balanced
diet.
We
normally
use
Foods
such
as
vegetables
of
vegetable
origin.
We
can
also
use
healthy
fats
Such
as
nuts
olive
oils
fish
is
important.
Also
take
foods
high
in
calcium,
such
as
milk,
Low-fat
milk,
that
is
fortified
in
calcium,
Yogurts
and
eggs,
are
also
a
source
of
calcium
examples
of
protein
that
we
can
also
include
in
our
diet,
healthy
protein
or
lean.
C
Protein
are
true,
skinless
chickens,
the
Nuts
that
I
had
mentioned
before
And
everything
that
is
dairy
products
in
the
clinic.
We
also
like
to
use
a
visual
that
is
easy
to
relate
to
is
a
balanced
plate.
If,
if
we
have
a
plate
in
mind
and
we
divide
the
plate
in
half,
half
of
the
plate
or
50%
of
the
dish
is
recommended
to
be
vegetables
or

One
third
If,
we
live
the
other
half
and
chop
it
again.
Half
the
one

of
the

can
be

being
present
in
that
connection,
and
while
you
are
nourished
also
being
grateful
for
the
food
we
receive,
that
helps
to
eat
less
and
to
limit
the
amount
a
bit
true
to
eat
in
very
important
moderations.
True,
it
is
okay
to
include
all
foods
that
we
mentioned
before
that.
B

Sweets
are
very
appealing,
and
the
scientific
literature
tells
us
It
helps
a
little
to
understand
why
we
are
so
attracted
to
them
and
why
we
always
want
sweeter
and
more
sugar
when
consuming
simple
carbohydrates
in
our
diet,.
Our
body
processes
that
very
quickly
and
processes
it

So
then
we
want
to
eat
more
and
go
eat.
again.
So,
one
technique
that
I
can
recommend
today,
for
those
of
you
who,
like
sugar
in
your
diet,
is
to
further
limit
and
eat
Eat
it
in
moderation,
combine
it
with
a
food
that
is
high
in
protein,.
C
Protein
gives
a
feeling
of
satiety.
And.
If
you
like
to
eat
cookies,
for
example,.
If
you
combine
the
cookie
that
you
are
consuming,
just
one
with
a
handful
of
nuts,,
which
is
high
in
protein
and
has
fat.

So

you
up
a
bit
and
keep
you
from
going
back
to
eating
more
sweets.
C
A
Very
well
so,
thanks
to
you,
two
I
learned
a
lot,
and
today
we
learned
a
lot
about
the
connection
between
health
feelings
and
Mental,
Health
and
food,
and
there
is
a
lot
of
connection
here
and
I
want
to
congratulate
each
one
of
you
who
are
trying
to
make
these
healthy
changes
in
your
daily
life.
And
your
diet
is
not
always
easy,
but
as
a
community,
we
can
work
together
to
improve
education
and
access
to
healthy
food.
And
thank
you
very
much
for
seeing
us
on
the
show
and
see
you
on
the
next
one.
