Description
In the early 1990s, when Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D., a nationally recognized award-winning nutrition expert and the nutrition correspondent for Good Morning America, wrote the first edition of her groundbreaking course, Food & Mood, scientists were just beginning to understand how what we eat affects how we feel.

Over the past several years, nutrition research has exploded, and this edition of Food & Mood has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest findings on the relationship between diet and mental and emotional well-being. Drawing from thousands of the current scientific studies, Somer explains in an accessible, interactive style why what you eat has a direct influence on how you feel, think, act, and sleep.

Somer's revolutionary Feeling Good Diet, as well as the many self-assessments, quizzes, and questionnaires, allows you and your patient to customize her step-by-step advice to take control of eating habits, mood, and mind. This entirely new edition covers the latest information on how to:

Naturally fight fatigue and stress
