Description
Food has power to nourish your mind, supporting emotional wellness through both nutrients and pleasure. In this ground-breaking book, journalist Mary Beth Albright draws on cutting-edge research to explain the food/mood connection. She redefines "emotional eating" based on the science, revealing how eating triggers biological responses that affect humans' emotional states both immediately and long-term. Albright's accessible voice and ability to interpret complex studies from the new field of nutritional psychology, combined with straightforward suggestions for what to eat and how to eat it, make this an indispensable guide. Readers will come away knowing how certain foods help reduce the inflammation that can harm mental health, the critical relationship between the microbiome and the brain, which vitamins help restore the body during intensely emotional times and how to develop a healthful eating pattern for life-with 30-day kick-off plan included. Eat and Flourish is the entertaining, inspiring book for today's world.
