An authoritative book about food and mental health, written by a psychiatrist and nutritionist, Stefano Erzegovesi, who for some time now has been dealing with the impact food has on the brain, as well as on a series of conditions such as anxiety, stress and depression.

Neuroscience and nutrition: cutting edge research has revealed a link between mood swings and eating habits. Depression is one of health’s emergencies; by 2030 it is going to be the most widespread chronic condition in the world. When it comes to diet, most people’s concerns involve weight loss, fitness, heart health and longevity. But what we eat affects more than our bodies; it also affects our brain. And recent studies have shown that diet can have a profound impact on mental health conditions ranging from ADHD to depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, OCD, dementia and more.
This book therefore teaches us how to regulate mood and emotions with nutrition, with an active journey that helps create a stable, happy lifestyle.
