The Alzheimer's Prevention Food Guide: A Quick Nutritional Reference to Foods That Nourish and Protect the Brain From Alzheimer's Disease

This is such a great book. So well put together. So incredible the amount of knowledge that is in it. Gets right to the point. It’s packed full of useful information. The two authors are smart and thorough and their stories are heartfelt and relatable. This is such a great book on nutrition. There’s no bias towards anything really. It’s all grounded in facts and the essence of the nutrients that are in any given food. Beautifully beautifully done.

What a wonderful book. It was moving to read the author's introductions about their own experiences with Alzheimer's - both having mother's who were afflicted with disease. I spend many days with my dad at his nursing home. Fortunately, he does not have dementia. However, many of the people he spends his days with it suffer from various stages of the disease. It is hopeful reading this book - there are things we can do to help avoid this debilitating disease and these authors do a wonderful job of consolidating the science and approaches to Alzheimer's prevention. I loved the easy to read, science-based advice and practical tips presented. The meal plans serve as a wonderful "idea generator" for brain-healthy options. I will be being several copies of this book to give to friends and family.

So far this looks promising but please be advised, this is NOT a cook book or recipe guide. This is information to help with learning how to choose foods that aide in the prevention of Alzheimer's. I mistakenly presumed this was a kind of cook-book. It is an average offering, but helpful nonetheless.

This book has a lot of good nutrition information which is presented in a very interesting and easy to understand format. It explains the reasons behind the recommendations for each food and the benefits each one has for helping prevent Alzheimer's and other ailments. It is explained so well and then has menus and food plans to put it all into action. Alzheimer's is in my family and I highly recommend this book!

The content of this book is GREAT!!! and I know my review should be more about the content. The content is up to date and relevant and explained well. What I can't get past if the FEEL of the cover of the book. It is horrible. In order to hold the book I have either buy a book cover for it or do the old fashioned paper book cover because the cover feels well....it is hard to describe....it is almost slimy but tacky at the same time. It might some sort of suede type paper but I have the feeling and can't read the book until I cover it. :-(

I found this book to be informative. My mom has Alzheimer's, diabetes and kidney problems, There is a lot of food she can and can't eat. I learned a little more about what I want to feed her, especially when it comes to spices. In the past I haven't used to many spices but they sure make a difference.

I purchased this book for my 80-year old parents. It is very user-friendly, easy to understand, and readily applicable to a daily routine. Another plus is the font size is nice for mature readers. A bit surprised to see a section for grains included, as I have read in other sources gluten should be avoided for optimal brain health. Otherwise, the Two Week Meal plan is giving my parents the jumpstart they need to begin preparing more brain-healthy meals. I may purchase a copy for myself!

Excellent publication.

Very interesting reading, we are both keen to do what we can to stave off the onset of Alzheimer's. it's on both sides of the family so a strong possibility. Sensible advice that is easily doable with ordinary food with no faddish diet. Increase some foods and reduce/eliminate others but don't feel guilty if you stray from the advice, sounds like common sense and therefore you can follow the rules easily for the best outcome. Would recommend this to any person with Alzheimer's or any dementia diagnosis in the family so that, by making a few small adjustments you are doing what you can to delay this terrible illness.

Wish I had access to this book before dementia went too far, seriously going to follow the advice myself, very good book, will recommend

I bought the book as the cover suggested a well thought out practical guide to preventing Alzheimer's by authors with experience. However page 12 refers to "saturated fats can increase your blood cholesterol and is linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease" Also in the same paragraph they have listed trans fats with saturated fats and the two are completely different. This book needs to be up-dated using clear concise evidence. Science is about discovery and if new evidence is discovered then authors need to be transparent.
