It's mental health awareness week from tomorrow, and you might ask what the hell has it to do with nutrition, but food has more to do with your mood than people realise. 

The types of foods you consume can have a not only an impact on your physical health, but your mental health too. 

What kind of foods make you feel better, inside and out? And what are those comfort foods you just can't let go of? 

Nutritionist Claire Turnbull joined Tim Beveridge for The Health Hub.

When it comes to improving our health, most of us know what we should be doing - eating better, moving more, sleeping well - but there is a good chance we might fail if we don't understand why we're doing it.  

What does long-lasting motivation look like? And what sort of motivation should we avoid to give us the best chance of staying on track?

Health seems to be overcomplicated these days - but does it really need to be? 

Everywhere you look you see another kind of diet, another 'must-have' exercise machine, a drink that can replace a meal, or a new gym programme that promises to finally solve all your problems. 

But truly, could the foundation of good health be as simple as a daily walk and eating whole foods? Why do so many people overlook what seem to be the staples of good health, instead going for expensive trends?

It seems like everyone is protein obsessed at the moment. 

They're buying the special protein yoghurt, making cottage cheese breads and cakes, even protein ice cream. 

It almost feels like just another one of those things that we think are really important for a little while, before we move onto the next thing. 

Of course protein is important, but do we really need more than we'd get in a basic, balanced diet?
