Book Description

March 4, 2008
Everyone knows that to keep our bodies healthy we have to eat right. But this unique guide reminds us that a healthy mind requires good nutrition, too. It explains how certain “active ingredients” in everyday foods enhance mood and boost brain power. And to make it easy to get the required amounts of these ingredients, there are 80 tempting recipes, all shown to be particularly effective at improving mental health. A selection of lavish color photos showcase a variety of delicious-sounding breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and juice suggestions—each with its own at-a-glance nutrient profile. There’s also guidance on how to use diet and nutrition to overcome specific ailments such as depression, stress, seasonal affective disorder, and pre-menstrual syndrome.

 



Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Though a proper diet is just one of many factors crucial to physical and emotional wellbeing, this enlightening, beautifully organized guide to eating well from British nutritionist and author Savona (Wonderfoods) offers a bevy of dietary tips to help readers defeat specific, everyday maladies from a number of angles. She lucidly explains how particular foods affect the body, from the spiking blood sugar levels caused by coffee or a cocktail to the epidermal benefits of oily fish like mackerel and salmon. Though none of the material is revolutionary, Savona's direct tone, sensible approach and bright, clean presentation are certainly refreshing, and always inviting. Armed with nutritional data, readers can begin modifying their diet to alleviate health complaints such as lack of energy, gut problems and even depression; for each malady, Savona provides a breakdown of the nutrients involved and helpful recipes for sides, light meals and mains. Recipes are within the range of novice chefs and range from salads and stuffed potatoes to dishes like Broiled Swordfish in Caper Salsa. Those looking for a complete introduction to basic nutrition and a sensible, healthy diet should book an appointment.

This review is from: The Kitchen Shrink: Food and Recipes for a Healthy Mind (Paperback)
Don't judge a book by it's cover! This book has beautiful photos inside, and the recipes are amazingly tasty and gourmet (and easy). Lots of good info on mood disorders as well. I bought this for my mom but kept it for a while and made the recipes. Now I want one for myself because they are so yummy!
