THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON FOOD
An Indispensable Guide to the Surprising Foods that Fight Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, OCD, ADHD, and More
For readers of GRAIN BRAIN by Dr. David Perlmutter and EAT TO BEAT DISEASE by Dr. William W. Li, YOUR BRAIN ON FOOD will be the definitive book on how to eat for mental health, from a go-to expert on the impact of food on the brain.
Did you know that blueberries can help you cope with the aftereffects of trauma? That salami can cause depression, or that boosting Vitamin D intake can help treat anxiety?
When it comes to diet, most people's concerns involve weight loss, fitness, cardiac health, and longevity. But what we eat affects more than our bodies; it also affects our brains. And recent studies have shown that diet can have a profound impact on mental health conditions ranging from ADHD to depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, OCD, dementia and beyond.
A triple threat in the food space, Dr. Uma Naidoo is a board-certified psychiatrist, nutrition specialist, and professionally trained chef. In Your Brain on Food, she draws on cutting-edge research to explain the many ways in which food contributes to our mental health, and shows how a sound diet can help treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues.
Packed with fascinating science, actionable nutritional recommendations, and delicious, brain-healthy recipes, Your Brain on Food is the go-to guide to optimizing your mental health with food.
