In Natural Power Foods nutritionist Christine Bailey advises how what we eat can dramatically affect how we think and feel. Each chapter of this life-enhancing guide is carefully devised to combine comprehensive, up-to-date, accessible 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), and shows how common disorders can be overcome simply and effectively through improvements in diet. Chapter Three, 'Feel Good Food', presents more than 80 specially commissioned, easy-to-follow recipes, each with a perfectly balanced nutrient profile. The book, which has been fully revised and updated, concludes with a chapter on nutritional supplements, as well as helpful general advice on improving mental fitness and mood through simple exercise and relaxation techniques.
