Did you know that eating junk food affects your hormones and brain chemistry?

I didn't know this when I was in high school. I had no idea about:

 serotonin (the ‘happy’ brain chemical)

 dopamine (the ‘feel good’ brain chemical)

 cortisol (the ‘stress’ hormone).

I didn't realise binging on sugar, not working out, not getting enough sleep and watching pornography didn't just affect my physical health, it affected my mental health too.

You can read more about serotonin, dopamine and cortisol in chapter 4.
