Another important purpose of the book is to show the reader how to slow down potential cognitive decline.

The Brain Boosting Diet has lots of unusual but important Do You Know Health Facts:

Our human hunter-gatherer ancestors of 10,000 years ago had better nutrition than our farming ancestors until a couple of hundred years ago. This was because the former ate a variety of foods they could find, rather than trying to exist on one or a few farmed crops which offered limited nutrition.

Of the thousands of substances involved in human metabolism, about 50 need to be supplied by diet. The other compounds can be supplied by the metabolic processes of the body.

The recipes are delicious, ranging from appetizers to main courses, from soups, to fish, to desserts.
