As a result of the pandemic, more people than ever before are struggling with their diet, weight gain, and complex mental health issues. In episode four of Digging In, I discuss the topic of brain foods and how eating and drinking certain items can help improve memory and focus while even curbing depression and anxiety. From the top recipes to grocery shopping lists, I dig into the best brain foods—as well as the science behind them—and what it all means for your overall health and happiness. I also welcome the amazing nutritional psychiatrist, and author of several books on brain foods, Dr. Drew Ramsey, to share his research on the relationship between food and mental health during the pandemic, a rise in alcohol consumption, and how there’s never been a better time to love your food. By the end of this episode, you’ll know about the top foods for brain health, as well as what to avoid when cooking your next meal.
