There's nothing in your basket
Back to ProgrammeKimberley Wilson is the author of the ground-breaking new book, Unprocessed: How the food we eat is fuelling our mental health crisis. Whilst we all know that as a nation our mental health is in crisis, a fundamental ingredient in this debate and a crucial part of the solution – what we eat – is being ignored. Drawing on startling new research – as well as her own work in prisons, schools and hospitals around the country – the author reveals the role of food and nutrients in brain development and mental health: from how the food a woman eats during pregnancy influences the size of her baby’s brain, and hunger makes you mean; to how nutrient deficiencies change your personality. In short, she shows that nutrition has more influence on what we feel, who we become and how we behave than we could ever have imagined.
