how nutrition influences cognitive function, behaviour and mood

Changing a child's diet will improve not just their physical health, but also their mental well-being, mood, and cognitive function at a fundamental level. This book highlights the link between nutrition and cognitive function, and demonstrates the crucial role of diet in supporting children with ADHD. Written by an internationally-recognised leader in the growing field of nutritional psychiatry, this book takes a nutrition-based look at ADHD and its management. Combining the latest theory and research with the inspirational stories of a range of professionals and individuals whose lives have been touched by the issues raised, Rachel also includes accessible tips throughout and a chapter of recipes to promote brain health. This is the go-to guide to understanding the interplay of brain health and nutrition, and supporting families to build a diet that ensures children reach their full potential in life
