  1. BRAIN SITS TO TABLERecent surveys demostrate that food influences also the mind. And, as a consequence, psychic health and mood.

  2. Eating well is good for our health. Certainly for the body but probably also for the mind.A series of recent surveys has demonstrated how food evidently influences our mood, our personality and even the genesis of some mental diseases.

  3. “There is no reason why brain must be less sensible than heart to eventual nutritional deficiencies”… …says Micheal Crawford, director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition of Imperial College of London.

  4. Resistance to stress, depression, aggressivity and forgetfulness might depend on what we put on our dishes. What is the reason for that? Fats and some vitamins are important both for our growth and for the maintenance of our brain: If they lack, there is a problem.

  5. In order to demonstrate that, researchers have chosen the most practical method: comparing groups of people with different nutritional styles. Protagonists of these studies are the Omega-3, fat-acids appreciated for their positive effect on our heart. “Which infuence they exert on our brain?” It was the scientists’ question.

  6. INTELLIGENCE The first correlation scientists have identified is between the mother’s alimentation and the mental health of the son. In 2007, Joseph Hibbeln of the National Institutes of Health, published a survey on the scientific magazine “Lancet”, made on 14,000 pregnancies, demonstrating that children behaviour at 8 years old is directly correlated to the fish quantity their mothers ate during pregnancy.

  7. On the other hand, children born from mothers with poor diets, had problems also in the management of their emotions, as sadness and anxiety.

  8. And……as regard adult people? Stress resistance, called resilience (that is the capacity of recovery from difficult situations), is as much influenced from food all life long.

  9. In 2002, the nutritionist and criminologist Bernard Gesh, from Oxford-England, demonstrated through a survey made on 231 convicts in the Aylesbury prison (UK), that aggressivity among those that took Omega-3, diminished of 39%.

  10. But, why fish is so good for human brain? The answer is that fish is rich in Omega-3 that is important and vital for building and functioning of neurons, that are our cerebral cells.

  11. Finally speaking, we can say that specialists don’t really know the actual importance of diet for mind and mood. But one thing is certain: if there are fresh fish, nuts, artichokes, asparagus, spinach, lattuce and also strawberries, beans, oranges in our plates at talbles, we will be happy not only at table but expecially in our life.
