Description

Improve brain health and function with this easy-to-follow guide for beginners to the new breakthrough diet that's shown to keep your mind sharp as you age.
 

Enjoying a high quality of life as you get older means taking care of your brain as much as your body. And research suggests that what you eat today will help (or hurt) your cognitive abilities later.

The MIND Diet explains the science behind mental fitness in an approachable and understandable way. More importantly, this helpful guide presents an easy-to-follow program for keeping your mind sharp by eating the right foods and avoiding brain-harming ones.

Packed with dishes that are not only delicious but also help improve memory, concentration and mental acuity, The MIND Diet’s healthy recipes include:

• Brussels Sprouts Frittata
• Sweet Potato Lentil Soup
• Pistachio Mint Couscous
• Guacamole-Stuffed Tomatoes
• Apricot-Glazed Salmon
• Tango Fish Tacos
• Banana Chocolate Cookies
• Roasted Chicken with Fennel
