Dr. Ede’s book delves into the science behind food as fuel for the brain.
by Justine Borgia
In her book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, nutritional psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede, M.D suggests that we can use “brain food” to ease mental health problems. Specifically, she teaches her readers how to achieve long- lasting health and happiness through dietary choices.
The book kicks off with the chapter “Rethinking Brain Food”, which illuminates the intersection of neuroscience and nutrition by rethinking nutrition guidelines, giving a tour through the brain, and explaining what brain metabolism means. Dr. Ede also discusses inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, insulin resistance, other metabolic challenges, blaming them for certain mental health problems.
Dr. Ede then backs her innovative diet with hard scientific evidence, demystifying pop-culture beliefs about “brain-healthy” diets. She guides her readers through different foods, from superfoods to foods we should avoid, and finishes off with diet approaches and recipes to put into practice the comprehensive scientific knowledge acquired through the book. Her ideas offer a solution that nourishes the brain with real, whole foods that not only keep our bodies resilient but also our minds.
Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind is one of the first books that looks at nutrition as a tool for helping mood, anxiety, and memory, providing realistic and evidence-based strategies to promote happier, healthier lives.
Change Your Diet, Changer Your Mind can be purchased here or at a local bookstore.
