Boost Your Brain

If you have noticed forgetfulness, trouble recalling where you put everyday objects, or a mind that feels worn out, this cookbook was written for you. Many people do not realize that what they eat can help protect the brain against every form of cognitive decline. The book brings together two heart-healthy eating plans: the Mediterranean diet and the Dash (Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet. Both are presented as science-based, and together they are said to lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Unlike many brain health books, this one pairs each recipe with specific ingredients chosen to give your brain a boost. The recipes include Healthy Vegetable Pasta, Delicious Quinoa Pilaf, Smoky Black Bean Soup, and Low Carb Pear, Roquefort and Walnuts on Endive, along with many other flavorful dishes. Each one is meant to help prevent degenerative diseases and support better brain performance. The cookbook focuses on foods that benefit both the mind and the body, with low-calorie meals for every time of day. The recipes are quick to prepare and use ingredients that are easy to find. Many dishes suit vegetarians, and photographs show how each finished meal should look. The book is intended for anyone starting a MIND diet approach to eating.
