Summary:
"How to eat for maximum
brain
power
and health from an expert in both neuroscience and nutrition. Like our bodies, our brains have very specific
food
requirements. The author is both a neuroscientist and an integrative nutritionist. Dr. Lisa Mosconi explains that the dietary needs of the
brain
are substantially different from those of the other organs. She provides recommendations for a complete
food
plan, shows why a paleo diet may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten may be a terrible mistake, and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness. Including comprehensive lists of what to eat and what to avoid, a detailed quiz that will tell you where you are on the
brain
health spectrum, and 24 mouth-watering brain-boosting recipes that grow out of Dr. Mosconi's own childhood in Italy,
Brain
Food
gives us the ultimate plan for a healthy
brain
. For anyone looking to improve memory, prevent
cognitive
decline, eliminate
brain
fog, lift depression, or just sharpen their edge. Dr. Lisa Mosconi is the associate director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital."--Provided by publisher.
