What sort of mood are you in today? Grumpy, sad, happy...
The reason you feel the way you do could well be connected to the food you eat.
There is growing scientific research showing a clear link between food choices and the brain, mood and mental health. Your brain works hard constantly to keep your body in good working order. Food is the fuel your brain needs and the content of that fuel determines how well you think and feel physically and mentally. So if that fuel comprises foods that are highly-processed, sugary, and loaded with trans fats it can have an adverse effect on both your physical and mental well-being.
On the flip side a diet packed with vegetables, fruits, whole grains and fibre helps to keep your mind and body healthy.
All the tasty breakfasts, lunches and suppers in this book have been created with the specific aim of giving you a variety of enjoyable meals to help maintain a balanced mood throughout the day.
