Optimum Nutrition for the Mind

This book put it all in perspective. It was easy to dip in and read the bits that applied to me. I made some basic changes - just one at first (gave up coffee) then more (more fish, better vitamins, less fried food). Years of poor nutrition had made me forget what it's like to feel good.

Highly recommended - clearly written, easy to understand, this book could really make a difference in your life.

This book and the book "Optimum Nutrition For Your Child's Mind" by the same author are fantastic. They clearly outline how your brain works and what it needs in order to function at top level. In the U.S. people tend to pop a pill for whatever ails them but all they are doing is covering up the real problems and creating new ones. These books will open your eyes to how ridiculous it is for doctors to prescribe a potentially dangerous pill without first testing your biochemistry and searching for a cause that can be treated naturally.

The book includes numerous suggestions for providing better nutrition for one's brain and thus the mind. While I follow a fairly good nutrition program, Holford provides new nutrition facts that have allowed me to take a healthy brain to an even better level. After a few weeks of taking some of the recommended supplements I've been able to measure a higher level of problem solving and memory. I will continue to ad Holford's recommendations to my diet.

If you have tried to read other nutritional info books & got overwhelmed and frustrated, this is one for you. I've actually READ much of it and I'm retaining a lot more from this book than I could from others.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to the real scoop on all the garbage we're putting in our bodies (and our kids' bodies).

Life changing.

Guys, this book is the bible if you care about your brain. Don't assume that because you are breathing, worrying about your daily chores or smiling at a fellow passenger that your brain is functioning to the best of it's ability. This book along with Dr. Amen's and Dr. Julia Ross's work is important for all to know. Take advantage of the cutting edge work in this field. Your family doctor typically has a lot of catch-up to do. Your education is paramount. I highly recommed this book.
