FIVE MORE BONUS Sections:

• MPN™ Brain Foods Pantry List of brain healthy non-perishables,
• Cooking and Shopping Tips,
• Substitution food list for those who want to start improving their own recipes,
• Frequently Asked Questions section,
• MPN™ Guide to Sugars and Non-Sugar Natural Sweeteners section.

This last section is as important as the menus and recipes, as people need to know how toxic sugar is to the brain and what we can do about it.

All of the MPN™ recipes and snacks meet ADA and AHA guidelines.  Thus in addition to people concerned with brain health, this book is wonderful and delicious for those folks who have diabetes and cardiovascular issues.

All of these recipes are also suitable for children. Brain Foods are especially important for pregnant and nursing mothers, and young children.

BRAIN HEALTHY FOODS: Menus and Recipes is a beginning guide to the sought after Memory Preservation Nutrition® program (MPN™), the brain foods program which is based on the latest science. This book will teach you about many scrumptious and tasty foods that help your brain as well as something about which foods hurt your brain.

What types of recipes are included?

The book’s 35 Recipes include  8 Breakfast recipes, 7 recipes each for lunch and dinner, 2 snack, 3 salads, sauces and dressings, and 8 brain healthy dessert recipes.  Plus 12 other snack suggestions that need no recipes.

Since most people have favorite recipes for cooking fish, chicken and meat, we focused on easy to prepare substantial vegetable and vegetarian recipes.  Also since more and more people are looking for dairy free, gluten free or vegan, we have included many of these types of recipes. These emphases are also consistent with the MPN™ program’s principle, “eat more plant foods and fewer animal foods.”

At Holiday time we are sharing food with the people we care about the most – family and friends, as well as work colleagues and clients.  It is of course vital that all foods served are attractive and delicious, as we are treating our favorite people.  Increasingly though, people are aware that what we eat, even at holiday time, affects how we feel, our mood and our brain power, even our pain levels, and will welcome being introduced to delicious foods that help, rather than hurt us.  The extra bonus: less guilt and less extra weight in the New Year!

The recipes contained in this special issue are from the evidence-based Memory Preservation Nutrition® program, and selected because they are not only delicious but easy to prepare.

MPN™ principles reflected in these recipes include:

·      The taste-enhancing, potent anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant powers of herbs and spices

·      The importance of eating more plant foods and fewer animal foods

·      Avoiding packaged and processed foods, trans-fats and artificial sweeteners

·      Reducing intake of added sugar and refined carbohydrates

·      Celebrating the delicious, healthful qualities of a full range of vegetables, fruits (especially berries), whole foods, including fish and seafood, nuts and seeds, beans and lentil, and whole grains.
