Are you Max Lugavere? Claim this pageHealth and science journalist, filmmaker, and author of the bestseller Genius Foods and the Genius Kitchen cookbook. After his mother's early-onset dementia, he turned to the science of food and the brain, becoming one of the most-followed voices on cognitive nutrition.
A brain-first way of eating drawn from Genius Foods: extra-virgin olive oil, fatty fish and omega-3s, leafy greens and other low-glycemic vegetables, eggs, avocados, and pastured meats, with refined carbohydrate and added sugar minimized — paired with exercise, sleep, and daily cognitive challenge as pillars of brain health.
Eat for the brain you want in 40 years: protect cognition with whole, low-glycemic, nutrient-dense foods and the lifestyle around them, and treat dementia as something diet and behavior can help stave off.
