The definitive guide to keeping your brain healthy for a long and lucid life, by one of the world's leading scientists in the field of brain health and ageing. The brain is our most vital and complex organ. It controls and coordinates our actions, thoughts and interactions with the world around us. It is the source of personality, of our sense of self, and it shapes every aspect of our human experience. Yet most of us know precious little about how our brains actually work, or what we can do to optimise their performance. Whilst cognitive decline is the biggest long-term health worry for many of us, practical knowledge of how to look after our brain is thin on the ground. In this ground-breaking new book, leading expert Professor James Goodwin explains how simple strategies concerning exercise, diet, social life, and sleep can transform your brain health paradigm, and shows how you can keep your brain youthful and stay sharp across your life. Combining the latest scientific research with insightful storytelling and practical advice, Supercharge Your Brain reveals everything you need to know about how your brain functions, and what you can do to keep it in peak condition.

Do you sometimes feel that you're less sharp than you could be? Or do you feel that your mental energy isn't where you want it to be? Did you know that you can change the way that you think and feel by changing what you eat? And most importantly - it's something you need to start doing right now. It's hard to know what's meant to be healthy. If you ever read the news, all too often you'll see headlines praising a food one day, and then condemning in the next. You'll see people selling you miracle cures for conditions that they've invented. You'll realise that powerful industries control the information that's given the most airtime, and that ultimately, you're better off trying to find out the truth for yourself. My name is Aisha Summers, and over my lifetime involvement in the nutrition industry, I've learned that the only way to truly empower yourself is through knowledge. Your health is in your own hands, and true health can be built on knowledge. In my book, Food for your brain, here is just a small part of the things you'll learn about: - The best diet to maintain a healthy brain throughout your whole life. - The worst things for your brain - the foods you really need to avoid. - The surprising science that reveals the links between your diet and your mental health. - How changing your understanding of nutrition will mean that the changes you make to your diet will stick. - It's not just what kind of food that you eat - but the quantities and timing make a difference as well. - The ways to reorientate your life to make sure your brain is at its best, and how food can take a central role. A lot of people believe that the health of your brain is something that you only need to start thinking about when you get old. But the things that you're eating right now, the food that you're putting into your body on a daily basis, is laying the groundwork for how your brain will function in the future. This isn't a problem that can be left to be dealt with later. Keeping your brain in the best possible health should be your top priority. Take action now, by building your knowledge. This book will provide you with the advice and information that you can immediately put into action for yourself and to help the people you love.
