Food for Thought: Changing How We Feel By Changing How We Eat
To truly give “thought for food”, it helps to understand what food means and how it affects the mind and body.
In this book, we will weave together the threads of stress, inflammation, gut health, and food to present an integrated in-depth picture of how choices that we make about food, and other aspects of lifestyle, affect our minds and bodies. The overall objective is to provide readers with enough evidence-based information to enable them to make and carry out informed choices about what they eat.
The goal of the text is to enable you to:
Distinguish between health-enhancing and unhealthy foods
Identify how stress encourages unhealthy food consumption and how to modify responses to stress
Describe the links between food, psychological well-being, and the gut-brain axis
Explain the importance of food choices in preventing and managing mood disorders and chronic medical conditions.
Apply practical knowledge to optimize your diet and gut health, reduce stress and inflammation, and experience better well-being
Overall, the purpose of this book is to provide “ammunition” for anyone wishing to increase motivation to change their diet or for anyone wishing to help a client or loved one to improve their diet
