Reviews

An excellent book showing how food affects our mood. It also explains how feelings of depression can be lifted by changing your diet and how much food affects our behaviour without our realising it. The text is also helpful to people who want to look at this subject with more depth than some of the glib books that are available in bookshops. (Charles Anderson)

This was a very good read. I got the information I was looking for. I'll recommend it as a definite read. (Joy Miller)

Very interesting but not easy to follow. If you dip in and out it can be confusing. Bought this book to help lift depression and the advice is good…if you can stick to it. (Anita McSkimming)
