The Brain Trust Program: A Scientifically Based Three-Part Plan to Improve Me... by Larry McCleary Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I couldn't help but notice that Dr. McCleary's photo on the back flap of the book shows that he is a bit overweight. This is natural considering his apparent love for beacon and eggs for breakfast, and his love for red meats, butter, and cheese. In my opinion, this is the only questionable part of his book. I just cannot believe that a diet abundant in saturated fats and cholesterols is not harmful to the cardiovascular system. And what is harmful for the cardiovascular system is also harmful for the brain. Furthermore, any amount of overweight puts a strain on all internal organs - for both man and beast.
Most readers may think I am some kind of fanatic. Well, maybe I am. But I believe that a calorie restricted, nutrient rich diet, leads to better health for the brain and all the other organs of the body. I also believe that calorie restriction is easy when the food served is simple and not made artificially enticing.
Maybe Dr McCleary believes that most people simply will not be willing to eliminate these expensive and enticing kinds of foods. I do admit that almost everyone probably feels this way, and would greatly benefit just by doing exactly as he has written. For this reason I must bow to his judgment.
I definitely agree with Dr. McCleary's recommendations for dietary supplements and mental exercises. What I'm really saying is that I plan to do as he says except that my diet is a bit more restrictive - simply steamed vegetables, whole grains, skim milk, more fish, less whole eggs, a little skinless chicken, and almost no red meat. And no candy. Candy kills more people than cigarettes.
I'm a 70 year old 5'10" male weighing in at 150lbs. My goals are to reduce my weight to what it was at age 25(140lbs.), and to improve my cognitive functions as much as possible. This book is sure to help. I highly recommend it to others.
10 Simple Solutions to Migraines: Recognize Triggers, Control Symptoms, And R... by Dawn N., M.D. Marcus, Dawn A. Marcus Amazon Price: $11.21
Customer Review: When my teenage daughter started experiencing bouts of dizziness and headaches, I took her to a hearing and balance doctor since I presumed her symptoms pointed in that direction. After thorough testing, however, it was concluded that the likely cause of her issues was migraine. That's when I started researching the topic and found Dr. Marcus' book. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who wants a good overview of the issues related to migraine, as well the ways to distinguish it from other forms of headache, and some straight-forward approaches to avoiding these headaches to begin with. I really like how the author included a good bit of background information (research stats, medical terms, etc) but still made it easy for the non-physician to understand.
