Nourish Your Way to Better Mental Health in Six Weeks
Dr Drew Ramsey is a psychiatrist and specialist in the use of nutritional interventions for mental wellness. In this book, he provides a guide to the growing interest in the use of nutrition to optimise brain health and, in doing so, help prevent and treat mental health concerns and support mental wellbeing.
Drawing on his own professional experience and on research from sources such as the British Medical Journal, he explains the ways in which depression and anxiety can be linked to anxiety and depression, although he also advocates incorporating evidence-based nutrition alongside more traditional interventions to help people develop the skills to understand the links between food and mental health.
This book is organised into two parts, supplemented with a section on resources. The first part covers information about eating for optimal health, and the second part puts this into practice, concluding with a six-week eating plan and recipes.
Whereas this book is aimed at adults, much of the content would be of relevance to anyone concerned with the nutritional aspects of wellbeing of children and young people. He explains how making small, incremental changes to the diet, and taking actionable steps towards a healthier lifestyle can have a significant impact on how we feel physically, cognitively and emotionally.
