The Happiness Plate

About this book

Dr. Hind Qaddees Marzouk examines how everyday food choices influence brain chemistry, emotional wellbeing, energy, and resilience. In accessible language, she explains the gut–brain axis, the role of intestinal microbiota and neurotransmitters, and the effects of macro- and micronutrients on mental function. The book compares supportive dietary patterns, including the Mediterranean diet, with habits associated with poorer psychological health, encouraging informed self-care rather than deprivation.
