Keith Mosman: Powell's Picks Spotlight: Sidik Fofana's 'Stories from The Tenants Downstairs' (0 comment)
I was a theatre major, and like most theatre majors, I: 1. Insist on spelling “theatre” with an “re” and 2. Don’t actually make theatre any more (and even seeing any plays in performance during the last few years has been a challenge for well-documented, world-historical reasons)...

This Is Your Brain on Food brings to mind everything my mom told me about eating my vegetables, and while it's true that the carrots didn't keep my eyeglasses at bay, I've never doubted for a minute that food — very specific food — can be a game-changer for our minds and our bodies. I love the idea of food/body manipulation, and experimenting with different food combinations for optimal health. So, if particular dairy products can help sharpen my short-term memory, I'm willing to use that as an excuse to eat more cheese. Recommended By Corie K-B., Powells.com

Did you know that blueberries can help you cope with the aftereffects of trauma? That salami can cause depression, or that boosting Vitamin D intake can help treat anxiety?

When it comes to diet, most people’s concerns involve weight loss, fitness, cardiac health, and longevity. But what we eat affects more than our bodies; it also affects our brains. 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 beyond.

A triple threat in the food space, Dr. Uma Naidoo is a board-certified psychiatrist, nutrition specialist, and professionally trained chef. In This Is Your Brain on Food, she draws on cutting-edge research to explain the many ways in which food contributes to our mental health, and shows how a sound diet can help treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues.

Packed with fascinating science, actionable nutritional recommendations, and delicious, brain-healthy recipes, This Is Your Brain on Food is the go-to guide to optimizing your mental health with food.

The Author's credentials are definitely impressive and add a lot of credibility to her message. The link between Brain and Gut is being talked about a lot and Dr. Naidoo agrees with this connection. Dr. Naidoo very clearly stated in the introduction that we needed to read only the chapter(s) applicable to us and that is what I did. While some of it was old wine in a new bottle there were some startling revelations. All in all a very worthwhile read.
