Food for thought
Our minds are a mystery. We don't know how our minds emerged from primitive neural circuits, but we are certain we can cultivate them to remain luminous, warm, and magnificent. Eliana Liotta (The Radiant Mind: Foods and Thoughts That Nourish the Brain and Brighten Life, Sonzogno) offers a vision in line with recent discoveries: a mind embodied in the brain and in constant dialogue with the body and the intestinal microbiota. Mind and nutrition interact much more than expected. Today, in an affluent society, we risk having malnourished brains, and it's no surprise that the consequences have been anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. But our minds also hunger for feelings, spirituality, and peace. With her, Elisa Tamburnotti.
