Top 5 Books on Healthy Eating:

“Diet for the Mind: The Scientific Approach to Nutrition for Health and Longevity” by Lisa Mosconi

Neurobiologist and nutritionist Lisa Mosconi explains how to eat to maintain maximum brain efficiency and health.

The author believes that humanity is currently facing a brain health crisis that can be overcome. She examines groups of nutrients (water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals), highlighting their benefits or harms to brain function.

“Just as there are special diets for people wanting to lose weight or compete in a triathlon, a unique diet is needed to maintain healthy cognitive abilities throughout life because the brain has its own special requirements. Essentially, our future is in our hands — or rather, on our plates,” Mosconi writes.
