THE MINDSPAN DIET
Reduce Alzheimer's Risk, Minimize Memory Loss, and Keep Your Brain Young
From an esteemed scientist and director of the Personal Genome Project at Harvard Medical School comes a revolutionary plan for curbing memory loss and improving cognitive longevity that will forever change how you think about diet and aging.
New studies show that Alzheimer's Disease is a leading cause of death in developed countries, along with heart disease and cancer. But there is good news: We now have the knowledge to extend both lifespan and mindspan, ensuring that our mind and body stay in peak form at any age.
Studying the diets of the "Mindspan Elite" those populations that live longest with low levels of dementiaas well as the way that certain food additives and ingredients interact with our genes, Dr. Preston Estep explains how the recent slew of popular brain-and-aging books have steered us down the wrong dietary path. Shattering myths about just what foods are (and are not) beneficial to our brains, THE MINDSPAN DIET reveals a simple plan to slow down cognitive decline. Startling in its revelations about healthy eating over the age of forty, it challenges us to rethink our approach to many common foods and nutrients, including:
? Iron: While iron-fortified foods sound healthy, high iron intake can be toxic, especially for people over forty, and increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.
? Whole Grains: Processed grains like white rice, pasta, and flour are actually staples in the diets of the most cognitively healthy cultures!
? Protein: Thought of as the miracle macronutrient, a high level of protein is actually hard on kidneys, promotes cancer, and may accelerate the progression of dementia.
Complete with fifty delicious recipes and recommendations for foods, shopping, and how to read nutrition labels, Dr. Estep shows that you can enjoy the richest flavors life has to offer and remain lean, healthy, and cognitively intact for a very long life.
Preston Estep III, Ph.D. received a Ph.D. in genetics from Harvard Medical School. He is now both Director of Collections (managing sample collection and genome sequencing) and Director of Gerontology at the Harvard Personal Genome Project. A co-founder and adviser to multiple biomedical startups and nonprofit organizations, he is also chairman of the Mind First Foundation, which he co-founded with Harvard Medical School Professors George Church and Ron Kessler.
