Here's a great quote from the foreword that is key: "...diets based on fresh or minimally processed foods, above all wholegrain starchy foods combined with legumes/pulses such as beans, and a variety of vegetables and fruits, rich in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, essential fats, and fiber, and which are correspondingly low in highly processed foods, total fat, saturated fat, sugar, salt, and also alcohol, protect the health of all systems of the body. And yes, this includes the nervous system of which the brain is one part, the source of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs."...
Don't be like so many who are sadly digging their own graves with their forks and spoons! Eat wisely and mindfully. (And I am speaking to myself too.) o8E
Soar!
