Patrick Holford's New Optimum Nutrition for the Mind

The book includes numerous suggestions for providing better nutrition for one's brain and thus the mind. While I follow a fairly good nutrition program, Holford provides new nutrition facts that have allowed me to take a healthy brain to an even better level. After a few weeks of taking some of the recommended supplements I've been able to measure a higher level of problem solving and memory. I will continue to ad Holford's recommendations to my diet.

If everybody read this book the world would be filled with happy faces.What we put into our mouths is essencial for our bodies but also for our minds and thus for the way we feel.Being happy has so much to do with what this book proposes: The right food, the right supplements.It is a must, believe me.

Everyone should read this or, possibly the new edition which has now come out. This book really gets to the nitty-gritty of how nutrition affects the mind and body. All information is well presented with great diagrams and charts for those who don't have any medical background.

If you have tried to read other nutritional info books & got overwhelmed and frustrated, this is one for you. I've actually READ much of it and I'm retaining a lot more from this book than I could from others.Highly recommended for anyone who wants to the real scoop on all the garbage we're putting in our bodies (and our kids' bodies).Life changing.

This is one of the best books I've read on nutrition for improving mental performance and stability. After applying the core advises I felt more energetic and capable of doing intellectual effort for longer hours. Thanks Patrick Holford for writing this book !

Very interesting book!!!How to deal with mental illness and have your mind sharp!!!At any age!!!Recommend for everyone!!!

I picked up the first edition of this book in 2002 on a whim, while at the airport in Kuala Lumpur - before the book was even available in the US market. I bought it, not because I wanted to learn about how dietary choices might increase my IQ (because, after all, how can you improve upon perfection? ;), but because I wanted to understand how food might affect my mental and physical health.Although I cannot say whether or not all of Patrick Holford's claims about mega-dosing certain vitamins are scientifically accurate (after all, as I later came to find out, the man is an entrepreneur and nutritional consultant - not a nutritionist), the book revolutionized the way I think about food, body, mind, environment and overall health and well-being.Before reading Holford, I never imagined that depression, dyslexia, chronic stress, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADDHD, and many other mental and physical problems might partly stem from a faulty diet. I never realized that there might be a connection between relative intelligence and what we eat. I never thought our mood might be a produce of meals. And for that, I thank Holford.For those of you who would feel more comfortable learning about this fascinating subject from a accredited medical professional, I recommend The Brain Diet: The Connection Between Nutrition, Mental Health, and Intelligence, by Dr. Alan Logan (2007). Like Holford before hime, Logan shows how diet is underlying factor of many medical conditions, such as depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, migraine headaches, ADHD, etc.

Excellent Book

Food is everyrthing

Very good book, lots of useful information, bought used but condition wax excellent.

I'm very happy with the book, I had been looking for it for a while. It's in very good state. Would buy from them again.

I purchased this book for school (holistic nutrition). This book has a lot of in depth information and great resources/research based information.

A very good book for the open minded. Our minds need nourished as much as our bodies, something that is often over looked. Although even the most basic nutritional education in general is unbelievably lacking and desperately needs far more emphasis. I bought this for a friend who originally bought it for me a long time ago.
