Circulation Supervisor Cándida Miniño recommends This Is Your Brain on Food by Uma Naidoo.
In This Is Your Brain on Food, Dr. Uma Naidoo explains how food is a powerful tool in managing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and even ADHD.
In this book, the author informs how different nutrients affect our mood and cognition. She discusses the roles of various food groups, from omega-3 fatty acids to gut-friendly probiotics, and does so while sharing her own experiences and case studies from her practice.
Naidoo offers strategies for incorporating brain-boosting foods into our regime, giving general guidelines that let us add provisions to our meals without having the strictness of a diet.
If you prefer meal plans, she curated recipes you can implement in your daily life.
My favorite parts in the book are the cheat sheets for each chapter, that tell you the foods to embrace and to avoid depending on the issue you want to improve.
This book is a reminder that our relationship with food can profoundly impact our minds, and it encourages us to take control of our health—one meal at a time.
