At FundaMental Change, we believe mental health is rooted not just in therapy, advocacy, and support groups , but also in daily practices that empower individuals. Exercise and nutrition are two of those foundations. When done well, they do more than improve the body. They reshape the mind by boosting mood, resilience, clarity, and hope. Here are specific ways regular movement and wholesome foods support mental well-being.
