BRAIN ENERGY

Brain Energy by Dr Christopher M. Palmer
 
I have enjoyed listening to Dr Palmer recently being interviewed about his book which is adding to the evidence that diet plays a critical role in brain health and cognitive function. Our mood and mental performance are affected directly by our dietary choices. What a surprise! Optimal brain function seems wishful thinking in our world of chronic ill health and mental health issues. Is it a case that our poor mental functioning in general has prevented us from making the link between diet and improvement of same? I find it surprising that this is news particularly in the medical world but to be fair I am seeing more lightbulb moments where diet is being given the acknowledgement it deserves and increasingly patients are being offered a dietary solution instead of a pill. This book is a very welcome addition not only for the quality of information but the genuine relatable human way Dr Chris brings it to us. Highly recommend!
