Eat Your Way to Happiness, Dale Pinnock, Martin Poole

In Eat Your Way to Happiness, Dale Pinnock (AKA The Medicinal Chef) unpicks the physiology and anatomy of anxiety and depression to show how diet can beneficially affect the hormones that alter mood. Don''t think for a second that in order to improve how you feel from day to day you will be eating salad and tofu forever. On the contrary: if starting your day with a Toasted muffin with smoked salmon, spinach, and hollandaise sounds good, then this is the diet for you.

Or try a sinus- (and mind-) clearing Salmon, avocado, and wasabi wrap for lunch. A fabulous Thai-style seafood noodle soup or fish pie will also help you maintain a healthy mindset, while Chocolate crunch pots will put a smile on your face as it also works to help relieve your symptoms.
