Dr. Uma Naidoo, a nutritional psychiatrist at Mass General Brigham, wrote the book — several in fact — on how food impacts our mood and emotional well-being. That includes her most recent, "Calm Your Mind with Food."Naidoo says to think of it like the letters in the word CALM. The "C" is pretty obvious — it stands for vitamin C, which we know we all need.
