When Feed Your Brain first appeared, the link between what we eat and how we think and feel was only beginning to be understood. A decade on, the evidence has grown enormously, and this fully revised second edition brings it right up to date.

Delia McCabe, who holds a master's in clinical psychology and a medical PhD in neuroscience, has spent more than twenty years translating that research into something anyone can use. At its heart is a simple, seven step plan built entirely around real food. In Feed Your Brain, McCabe explains which fats, unprocessed carbohydrates, clean proteins, vitamins and minerals the brain needs, and why: how the gut and brain are connected, and the surprisingly high nutritional cost of chronic stress. Each step builds on the last, with a five-point summary to help new habits stick, optional in-depth sections for readers who want the science, and a collection of quick, brain-nourishing recipes.

Whether your memory feels slippery, your focus and mood aren't what they used to be, your sleep is poor or stress has become a constant companion, Feed Your Brain offers a calm, practical, evidence-based path to thinking more clearly, feeling better and aging well — for anyone who cares how their brain works, and how it ages.
