The Kitchen Shrink by Natalie Savona
A practical guide to providing first-aid for the mind with the power of food. Nutritionist Natalie Savona shows how what we eat can dramatically affect our state of mind. Each chapter contains up-to-date, clear information with practical advice. Chapter One "The Physiology of Melancholy" looks at the physiological link between nutrition and mental well-being. Chapter Two "Mood's Many Guises" looks at specific mind and mood related ailments, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), insomnia and Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS), get through these and other common disorders through improvements in diet. Chapter Three "Feel Good Food" presents more than 80 specially commissioned, easy-to-follow recipes, each with an at-a-glance nutrient profile. Also contained are chapters on nutritional supplements, as well as advice on improving mental fitness and mood through simple exercise and relaxation techniques.
At last, the thinking glutton's cookbookIf we are what we eat then you do not have to be a genius to realise that many of us must be very unhealthy indeed. The author is a professional nutritionist who regularly contributes to many national newspapers, and this, her first book, contains so much good advice and common sense about food, diet and physical and mental well-being that it seems odd that the cookery shelves in our bookshops are not already packed with books entitled The Kitchen Shrink. Philosophers have for centuries debated the mind/body problem, how our physical nature connects with mental life. The answer was there in front of us all along, on a plate. A clever book about an important subject and a cut above your average healthy eating guide.
