More and more people are recognising the relationship between diet and emotional health. Scientific studies have identified nutrients in certain foods believed to prevent the onset of serious illnesses. These nutrients can also have a dramatic effect in fighting low level depression and mental
sluggishness caused by unhealthy, highly processed foods. Alexandra Massey and Anita Bean have devised an invaluable guide to changing the way you feel by changing what you put on your plate. As well as exploring the links between lifestyle, diet and disposition, they provide 10 depression-busting superfoods, plus three separate 7-day eating plans to beat the blues and boost your immune system. Their alternatives to high fat, salty and sugary processed meals will help you combat fatigue, anxiety, stress and depression and change your life and your relationship with food.
Inside Flap
In recent years scientific studies have identified that nutrients in certain foods can have a dramatic effect in fighting low-level depression and the mental sluggishness caused by unhealthy, highly
processed foods. Depression affects most of us at some time in our lives but medication can
sometimes be counterproductive and counselling services are often heavily subscribed. If we need professional help for depression we need it straight away, yet this might not always be possible. Faced with this dilemma herself, Alexandra Massey, best-selling author of Beat Depression and Reclaim Your Life, has developed SuperFoods, a guide to fighting fatigue, anxiety, stress and depression through food. SuperFoods contains three seven-day eating plans for depression, stress and chronic fatigue; ten common symptoms of �bad food fallout�; and Q and A sections to identify lifestyle/eating habits. Written in association with award-winning nutritionist Anita Bean, SuperFoods is an invaluable, jargon-free guide. These delicious alternatives to high-fat, salty and sugary processed meals will help you fight depression by changing what you put on your plate.
