A must read for everyone
This book and the book "Optimum Nutrition For Your Child's Mind" by the same author are fantastic. They clearly outline how your brain works and what it needs in order to function at top level. In the U.S. people tend to pop a pill for whatever ails them but all they are doing is covering up the real problems and creating new ones. These books will open your eyes to how ridiculous it is for doctors to prescribe a potentially dangerous pill without first testing your biochemistry and searching for a cause that can be treated naturally.

Having a healthy mind and feeling great !
Like most people, I love sugar, carbs (not the good ones) and just about every other ingredient that is brain toxic. When I first purchased this book, I was absolutely dreading changing my eating habits. But once I began eating according to Patrick Holford's recommendations, I noticed results immediately. Replacing fried foods with a nice salmon steak and veggies is not as hard as I had imagined!
This book is clearly written and has undoubtedly improved my life. To supplement eating right, I also joined a fitness club for the mind at Agogus.com - which is a great for your mental fitness. My mental clarity has increased dramatically, my memory has improved, and I am healthier mentally and physically. So, between eating brain-nourishing food and joining a club that literally works out my brain, I have never felt better - I recommend this lifestyle change to everyone!

It Makes a Difference
Picked this up in the airport on yet another frenetic trip. I'd been having problems with memory loss: work very stressful, home very stressful - the usual. Thought, "Hmmm, Maybe all the chips and chocolate isn't the answer." This book put it all in perspective. It was easy to dip in and read the bits that applied to me. I made some basic changes - just one at first (gave up coffee) then more (more fish, better vitamins, less fried food). Years of poor nutrition had made me forget what it's like to feel good. Highly recommended - clearly written, easy to understand, this book could really make a difference in your life.
