Brain Health at the Table: How Diet Impacts Mental Health

Recent research shows how our diet influences mental health: on one hand, the quality of the nutrients we consume matters, and on the other, the decisive role of the microbiota and its ongoing dialogue with the brain.

Cooking dishes that delight the senses while also being rich in protective substances for the gut and mind becomes one of the most effective strategies for psychological well-being.

The Volume

The new book by Giuseppe Capano offers a journey of taste and pleasure inspired by the established principles of the Mediterranean diet, enriched by the latest scientific evidence in nutrition.

A journey through vibrant colors, plant-based ingredients, the scents of herbs and spices, the valuable support of oily seeds and dried fruit, and the embrace of the extra-virgin olive oil: an extraordinary ally for our minds.

The foreword is written by Bruno Brigo. The volume’s chapters collect a rich selection of recipes divided into several sections: vegetable-based small plates, first courses, main courses, salads, and desserts.

The Author

Giuseppe Capano has been involved in cooking, health, and nutrition since 1980. Over the years, he has developed a cuisine characterized by heavy and generous use of vegetables, legumes, grains, and fruit. A modern cuisine anchored in a holistic, 360-degree approach to global wellness.

A cooking philosophy attentive to the preventive aspects of many foods, the proper use of processing techniques, and modern cooking tools.
