THE POWER OF ART
Bridging Nutrition and Art
The language of visual art -colours, shapes, lines, an images -speaks to us in ways that words can not.
Art making is one of the most ancient forms of healing. Drawing and paintings are powerful forms of communications to capture ideas, feelings, dreams and aspirations.
Art has always been used to tell a story and express a wide range of emotions and experiences, from profound joy to the deepest sorrow, from triumph to trauma.
​
In recent years many people have rediscovered the benefits of art making for personal growth, self expression and gratification. Art can be soothing and stress reducing, it can alleviate pain or other physical symptoms.

Besides being Creative is a fun thing to do, it is also a way to keep your body and brain healthy. Research have discovered doing basic artistic activity actually increases blood flow to the brain’s reward centre. Being actively engaged in art-making, promotes regular breathing, decreases your heart rate, blood pressure, and reduces the stress hormone cortisol.
Nutrition and Art go hand in hand. Nourishing your mind and body with the right nutrients and making time for creativity promotes mental and physical wellbeing and increases psychological resilience. When we make art we can quite naturally enter a state of "FLOW", the experience of being completely and happily immersed in what we are doing. It is a great way to distract yourself from stressful thoughts, anxiety, pain and reconnect with positivity.
