The Official MIND Diet: A Scientifically Based Program to Lose Weight and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease

A very significant book for those concerned about brain health and overall nutrition. Well written. Science-backed. Includes good recipes. We have been easily following much of the diet for months.

My mother has Alzheimer’s and I’m looking for ways to lower my risk. This book provides great, easy to understand info about the best diet fora healthy brain. There are good recipes to follow and the checklist of what to eat and what to limit is very useful. I print out a bunch and hang them in my pantry for reminders on what I should be eating. I recommend this book to anyone interested in optimizing your diet for brain health.

Two books, really. Half is background on the benefits of the MIND diet and the other half is recipes. The language is simple and easy to understand for anyone. As a neuroscientist I can say that Dr. Morris's research is sound and she is well respected in the field. The recipes are written by a nutritionist. While the title is maybe a little misleading, it won't "prevent" Alzheimer's but this is diet is definitely associated with a lower risk as well as other heart and weight benefits. One star off because the book is not visually appealing (no pictures of recipes) and because my initial copy was missing the first three chapters- it started on page 25 due to some printing error. Had to return for a correct copy.

I follow this Diet meticulously and I don’t have dementia yet. I’m sure becoming wrinkled though. No seriously, follow this diet to stay healthy.

Very thoroughly explains the food science basis for this way of eating! Have been following for 2 weeks. Not restrictive. Healthy. My gut has appreciated all the veggies and high fiber the reader is encouraged to eat. I am following this to the letter. Brain fog gone! I sleep better. Hope that it lowers the cholesterol, otherwise, my MD will "strongly insist" on a statin. Yes. Sometimes lifestyle change might prevent one more Rx. We'll see.

This book explains - in a very readable way - the important role that diet plays in brain health Conveniently, what is good for the brain, is also good for other systems! I appreciate that this book highlights that even small changes can make a significant difference in the prevention of cognitive decline. The author's do an excellent job of making very complex science very easy to understand for the average reader, and the MIND DIET itself does intimidate. The recipes are easy to prepare, delicious, and often family friendly (I have some picky littles!). It is clear that this book was written with foundation of both science and love. The loss of Dr. Morris was clearly immense to science, and the family and community that love her. This is absolutely a good book to have in your collection.

Great resource

Nice book but I thought this was an actual cookbook. It’s not. It’s a book that explains about the diet with some recipes added. This being said, if you are looking for info on the mind diet, then this book is for you.

This book is a "must have" if we care about health.

Sorry this was not suitable for what I required, although very informative

With this diet I lost weight. Easy to follow. The instructions are simple.

Awesome read

It’s very impressive. I can’t wait to cook with it
