Description

“A fun and illuminating look at how food affects mental health…Her gift for making science accessible and entertaining is on full display…The research is eye-opening, and Albright’s genial tone makes her an ideal tour guide. The result is a first-rate program for eating better.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A lively and evidence-based argument that a whole food diet is essential for good mental health

Food has power to nourish your mind, supporting emotional wellness through both nutrients and pleasure. In this groundbreaking book, journalist Mary Beth Albright draws on cutting-edge research to explain the food-mood connection.

She redefines “emotional eating” based on the science, revealing how eating triggers biological responses that affect humans’ emotional states both immediately and long-term.

Albright’s accessible narrative and ability to interpret complex studies from the new field of nutritional psychology, combined with straightforward suggestions for what to eat and how to eat it, make this an indispensable guide.

Listeners will come away knowing how certain foods help reduce the inflammation that can harm mental health, the critical relationship between the microbiome and the brain, which vitamins help restore the body during intensely emotional times, and how to develop a healthful eating pattern for life―with thirty-day kickoff plan included.

Eat & Flourish is the entertaining, inspiring book for today’s world.
