Eat Your Way to a Healthy Brain
7 dietary tips from one of America’s leading psychiatrists and brain health experts.
The brain is an energy-consuming organ. Since it uses twenty to thirty percent of the calories we eat, the dietary decisions we make affect it deeply.
As Dr. Daniel G. Amen, a multiple New York Times Bestselling author and one of America’s leading psychiatrists and brain health experts, says, “If you eat a fast-food diet, you will have a fast-food mind that is less capable of thinking and reliable decision making.”
In other words, your diet’s quality determines your thinking quality.
In Dr. Amen’s 2017 book, Memory Rescue: Supercharge Your Brain, Reverse Memory Loss, and Remember What Matters Most, he explains that around 75 percent of us will have some memory-related disease unless we address the ten risk factors that threaten our brain’s health. One of the critical ways to do so is by tweaking our diet.
In this post, I’ll share the seven tips included in Dr. Amen’s “Memory Rescue Diet”, a diet associated with a reduced risk of severe memory problems and a bigger brain size.
In the words of Dr. Amen, “bigger is better when it comes to the brain.”
