| Summary |
Do you often feel irritable, anxious, depressed, disconnected, or moody for no apparent reason? Do you have sleeping problems? These problems might well have something to do with what you eat, and this book shows you what you can do about it. In this eye-opening exploration of the food-mood connection, nutrition expert Jack Challem isolates the nutritional triggers of anger, tension, fatigue, impatience, anxiety, and depression, providing solutions that will help you stabilize your moods and be more focused. Drawing upon thirty years of nutrition research, including the latest findings, Challem lays out a clear and practical four-step plan for feeding your brain the right nutrition.--From publisher description. |
