About this title

From the Back Cover:

Myth: You are born with a genetically determined brain of a certain size and with fixed potential
Reality: the brain is a growing, changing organ with enormous capabilities if you nourish and treat it correctly.

Your brain cells are even more sensitive than other body cells to certain nutrients and food chemicals. If we want to live well in our old age we need to reverse the decline of our brainpower which commonly happens after the age of 40.

Jean Carper, drawing on exciting new scientific research, here explores the world of 'nutritional neuroscience' which proves that the right foods and health supplements can help you concentrate, keep you motivated, boost memory, speed reaction times, defuse stress, prevent or cure illness and even slow brain ageing.

In ' Your Miracle Brain' you will find out about the most exciting supplements such as Gingko Biloba, Co-enzyme Q10, St John's Wort, Phosphatidylserine (PS), Sam.e, Alpha-lipoic acid, DHA (found in fish oil), Lecithin, Selenium, Vitamin E and the B vitamins.

Nothing is more central to a successful and fulfilling life than an optimally-functioning brain and in this book Jean Carper shows you how to achieve its full intellectual, creative and emotional potential.
