How Food Affects Your Brain
How changing diets can change minds – for better or for worse
What we eat has a powerful influence on how we feel, think, and behave – effecting our brains and nervous systems.
Find out how key elements of modern diets affect brain development and function, in ways which:
- reduce our resilience to stress, anxiety, depression, dementia and other mental health problems.
- help to explain the rise in developmental conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism (and more general learning difficulties) and make these conditions more difficult to manage.
- promote tendencies for impulsive, aggressive and antisocial behaviour, rather than pro-social co-operation and problem-solving.
- also relate to common physical health problems including allergies and immune disorders, gut and digestive difficulties, and chronic pain.
Learn what basic nutritional and dietary changes could improve mental health and wellbeing both now – and for future generations.
Hear from two of the world’s leading experts in this area what the latest evidence really shows, and crucially:
- what we can all do in practice to help support and improve mental health and wellbeing at any age.
