Description
In this second, expanded edition of the best-selling The Brain Diet, Dr. Alan c. Logan incorporates the latest research on the connection between nutrition, mental health, and intelligence.

Most people today know that good nutrition and good health are related and that poor nutrition frequently leads to cardiovascular disease and cancer. Unfortunately, few people realize that poor nutrition also is an underlying factor in other medical conditions, such as depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, migraine headaches, ADHD, and much more. This is startling when one learns that researchers have found that the trimmings on a hamburger and a side of fries accounts for more than 50 percent of the vegetables in most people’s diets today.

The Brain Diet explores the connection between diet and mental health as well as the importance of diet in realizing the full potential of our intelligence. Dr. Logan shows how poor nutrition hinders the development of our children’s intelligence and adversely affects mental health and success. Despite being just 2 percent of an adult’s total weight, the human brain demands an enormous amount of energy. An ample flow of blood is required for us to think, to reason, to create art and music, to develop technology, and to perform complex work. AS Dr. Logan explains the science behind how our brains function, he also provides suggestions for healthy diet.

Included are the basics of a brain-healthy diet, brain-healthy recipes, helpful charts, and information about food supplements that enhance our mental function (including a description of how these supplements work). This revolutionary new way of looking at mental health and intelligence gives new meaning to the adage, “You are what you eat.”
