Nutrition for a Sharp Mind: Preventing Dementia with the Right Foods

Description

Eating healthy has numerous benefits for both our bodies and our brains. This revised edition of a popular book explores the role of nutrition in dementia and offers research-based recommendations for dietary interventions that can promote brain health and potentially decrease the risk of dementia or slow its progression.

In addition to discussing the impact of nutrition on cognitive function, this updated edition also covers a variety of lifestyle factors that can influence brain health, including exercise, sleep, stress management, and staying mentally and socially active. It also examines specific diets that have been shown to improve brain function, such as the Mediterranean diet, DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), and the MIND diet, which combines elements of both the Mediterranean and DASH diets.

This book provides practical tools, such as checklists, to help you set and achieve health goals, apply the Cleveland Clinic's pillars of brain health to your daily routine, make informed food and drink choices, distinguish between fad diets and long-term health solutions, and overcome potential barriers to starting a healthy diet. Whether you're at risk for dementia or have already been diagnosed with the condition, the guidelines and information in this book can help you nourish your brain and maintain cognitive health. Don't wait, order now and start taking steps towards a healthier brain.
