Mental strength is the capacity that someone has to deal effectively with stressors, pressures, and challenges while performing to the best of their abilities despite the circumstances. Mental resilience is the ability to bounce back or adapt to traumas, hardships, failures, or difficult life circumstances.

Stressors are a part of life, but what we eat and do (or don’t do?) can make us more stressed and have a more difficult time bouncing back. Did you know some foods you’re eating can actually stress you out?
