The Brain Food Diet

The Brain Food Diet draws on the latest research to show how we can reduce our risk of mental decline.

The first book to weigh up all the evidence about the effectiveness of omega-3s, using the very latest research, The Brain Food Diet explains in layman's terms the benefits of omega-3s. The book is particularly relevant to the over 50s but Dr Ryan also explains the relevance of omega-3s to improving mental function at all stages of human development.

He shows how omega-3s reduce the risk of depression (using evidence that has never been published before) and how they prevent heart attacks and strokes; and he gives useful tips on how everyone can redress their dietary imbalance, and shows other ways in which everyone can keep their brain healthy.

With 800,000 people in Great Britain, alone, suffering from Alzheimer's and millions in premature mental decline, this is vital reading if a mental health epidemic is to be prevented.

In Australia alone, there will be estimated 56,000 new cases of dementia in 2007.

An estimated 9,600 Australian's under the age of 65 suffering younger onset dementia, 'The Brain Food Diet' is relevant for improving brain function at all stages of development, whether young or young in mind.
