REVIEW OF DR. ALAN LOGAN’S "BRAIN DIET"
The relationship between diet and brain health is presented in a well written and easy to read review of Dr. Logan’s research. He presents information on what role our diet plays in affecting our intelligence and mental health. We can maximize the quality of our life by eating right and making sure we take in a healthy quantity of nutrients that help support our cognitive functions.
The
role of Phosphorus for the Brain and Omega 3’s is
documented by many scientific studies. Dr. Logan describes in detail
what happens to the Brain when it lacks the prescribed nutrition and
how to correct those problems. In doing so, we see an improvement in
the quality of our life in areas such as thinking, reasoning,
creating, being artistic and learning. A healthy Brain diet can help
children by increasing their intelligence and decreasing their risks
of ADHD.
This book covers areas in which our health is
affected in regards to our Brain and how we think. A lot of what is
discussed we already know affects other aspects of our health, such
as oxidation and inflammation leading to cancer and heart disease. In
this book, we learn how it also negatively affects our mental
processes. Many of the supplements and the diet recommended also help
us with many other aspects of our health. These recommendations are
not something extra that you have to do just for your Brain, it is
important that you follow them for all aspects of your health. The
supplements recommended are mainly nutrients for the Brain and
Anti-oxidants which prevent free radical damage in the
body.
This book is well organized and easy to read. The
information presented comes with explanations that help you
understand why it is important to make changes that we may need to
make. A parent will find this information helpful in improving the
quality of their children's ability to learn. Middle aged people will
find the information to be very helpful with slowing the decline of
our thinking process. There is also a section with recommendations
for a variety of health conditions such as fibromyalgia and migraine
headaches. People with an interest in their health and the health of
their children will really enjoy this book. Plus the recipes
presented in for the nutritional plan look really delicious.
