Genius Foods
by Max Lugavere

I’m late to the party on this author but this month I am bringing you one of the Genius Living trilogy written by Max Lugavere. The theme though is familiar. Food affects our health both positively and negatively. In terms of our brain health we are sadly more than aware of the negative consequences of our brains not working optimally. In truth it is not easy to nourish a brain in a toxic environment within which we have little control. However,  I certainly believe that the more you become familiar with the knowledge and have access to the resources to help, you will have more than a fighting chance of a positive outcome.
 
I like books where dedicated passionate people do the research without being funded to bring a predetermined answer. This book has plenty of information to keep our brains exercised!
 
Now, in Genius Foods, Lugavere uncovers the stunning link between our dietary and lifestyle choices and our brain health, revealing how the foods you eat directly affect your ability to focus, learn, remember, create, analyze new ideas, and maintain a healthy, balanced mood. He presents ground-breaking science and distills the latest research, including:

• How food is like software for our endlessly capable minds;
• How select nutrients can actually boost working memory and processing speed;
• How slowing down the cognitive aging process is just as much about the foods you omit from your diet as the superfoods that you consume
