Taylor-Byrne, R.E. and Byrne, J.W. (2017) How to control your anger, anxiety and depression, using nutrition and physical activity.  Hebden Bridge: The Institute for E-CENT Publications.
~~~
Do you know how to optimize your emotional wellbeing using diet and exercise approaches?
This book is intended for educational purposes only, and does not purport to be medical advice.  Bear in mind that each individual body is probably pretty unique, because of its unique nutritional journey through life.  We are changed by the foods we eat, and some experts would say we ‘are what we eat’.  However, we also know that physical exercise changes the biochemistry of the body-brain, which changes moods and emotions, as well as promoting better cardio-vascular health, and oxygenation of the whole system.
Furthermore, there are many expert nutritionists and nutritional therapists available today, at reasonable fees; and you would be well advised to see a nutritionist, or some other kind of holistic medical practitioner, if you are concerned there might be a link between your current emotional state and your diet. And there are increasingly available lifestyle coaches, health coaches, and exercises coaches and personal trainers, who can help to get you into a new set of healthier dietary and exercise habits which will promote greater physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Nevertheless, despite the caveats above, there is undoubtedly a lot of very useful educational material in this book, based on recent, sound, scientific research, which could be helpful in guiding you towards your own answers to your questions about emotional health and wellbeing. The ideas in this book will also be an invaluable resource for counsellors, psychotherapists, health and lifestyle coaches, self-help enthusiasts and others.
