FAB RESEARCH COMMENT:

Another excellent book to complement this one - which explains clearly how food and diet, as well as many other things we can influence, can be used to improve mental wellbeing and resilience, is:

• How to Build a Healthy Brain: Reduce Stress, Anxiety and Depression and Future-Proof Your Brain

• Depression and diet - news

• Anxiety and nutrition - news

• Anxiety and nutrition - Research

• ADHD and nutrition

Leading scientists Bonnie Kaplan and Julia Rucklidge have dedicated their careers to researching the role that diet and nutrition play in our mental health. Together they have published several hundred peer-reviewed studies - those from the last two decades reveal the healing power of nutrients and the surprising role they play in brain health.

In this paradigm-shifting book, Kaplan and Rucklidge share their groundbreaking research for the first time and explain how to feed your brain to stabilise your mood, stave off depression and make yourself more resilient to daily stress. 

The Better Brain also reveals the hidden causes of the rising rates of depression, from the nutrients in our soil to our reliance on processed food. It explains why a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, pulses, fish and olive oil is healthiest for your brain, and why some people benefit from supplementary minerals and vitamins added to such a diet.

Complete with a nutritional plan and thirty delicious, mood-boosting recipes, this book will be a complete guide to a healthier, happier brain.
