How would you know if your brain was starving?
With a worldwide ageing population, and cases of dementia as well as severe depression and anxiety alarmingly on the rise, the need to look after your brain optimally has never been more important.
Neuroplasticity is the buzzword of the year, and we are all frantically doing crosswords and brain training apps in the hope of keeping our neurons in peak condition.
However, just as you would not expect an athlete to run a marathon without preloading on carbs, our brains need very specific nutritional requirements to function optimally. No amount of neurological bench pressing is going to get them buff without the right diet.
Feed Your Brain by Delia McCabe is the ultimate guide to getting your brain in tip-top shape and keeping it healthy via the foods you eat. It has now been proven beyond a doubt that it is possible to improve focus and memory, reduce stress and anxiety, and think more clearly simply by enjoying a diet rich in the right nutrients.
In Part 1 of Feed Your Brain, Delia takes you through her 7-step program, simply and clearly explaining the science behind how the brain works, and showing how vitamins, minerals, fats, oils, carbohydrates and proteins affect brain function.
Part 2 of the book features delicious, quick and easy recipes that can form the basis of your new diet while also providing you with inspiration to come up with your own ideas in the kitchen.
If you have noticed your memory slipping, have trouble focusing, concentrating or learning, or have mood swings and don’t want to go on medication, have poor sleep, or are feeling stressed and anxious all the time, this is the book for you.
Enjoy more happiness, motivation, mental energy and well being by getting your brain to work efficiently and effectively, simply by learning how to feed your brain.
