Synopses & Reviews
Have you ever wondered how you can beat the energy-slump in the middle of the day? Have you ever felt frustrated that you can't be more focused, or more constant in your moods? In The Kitchen Shrink, Natalie Savona presents the simple but profound concept: what we eat can dramatically affect how we think and how we feel.
Discover how and why the body's fluctuating blood-sugar levels lead to mood swings; why certain nutrient and fat deficits can cause reduced brain power, poor concentration, and even memory loss; and why eating foods that result in poor digestion can trigger anxiety and fatigue.
Understand how conditions such as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), PMS, binge eating, and sleeplessness can be overcome simply and effectively through improvements in your diet. Each problem mentioned is fully cross-referenced to some of the 80 specially commissioned, easy-to-follow recipes which are organized by meal type (breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks).
To complete the picture, Natalie Savona gives detailed information on nutritional supplements, as well as helpful general advice on improving mental fitness and mood through simple exercise and relaxation techniques.
