Daily water consumption 2010-09-03

Reviewer: Mary Van Iderstine

I am a student of Dean Ornish so I know a lot about cooking healthy, however, I have a major problem with the amount of water suggested be consumed within a day. The example given was someone who was 120lbs. should consume approximately 60oz. of water. Did I read that incorrectly? I read many theories about water consumption, and the warning to date has been too much may have an affect on your electrolytes. I don't think I'm wrong. Bottom-line that's just too much water!

Preacher or Teacher? 2010-08-22

Preacher or Teacher?

Although the receipts are very good and the list of healthy choices are very well researched. The receipts can be found on line by googling heart healthy diet.

The Author obviously has a very strong need to advance a Plant based diet, as mentioned several times in the begining chapters.

If you want to read about how one persons core values regarding diet.

This would be a good read. If you don't want to be preached to but want the receipts google heart healthy diets or join Weight Watchers for the many of the same receipts and save the money this books may cost.

This is a fantastic cookbook! The recipes are delicious and healthy. Once you stock up on the healthy ingredients you can make many of these dishes over and over again and come up with a great weekly meal menu. Dr. Amen puts his Brain Healthy spin on some common ingredients and enlightens your thought process to think about what you are putting into your body WILL affect how your brain functions. Making the brain - body connection has been a life saver in my household. If you want a healthier you and a healthier family I would recommend this cookbook more than any other out there!

Pretty superfood cookbook for beginners 2010-07-01

Reviewer: rejuvenationmd

I perused Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Cookbook at my local bn and found it to be really pretty but not up to what I was hoping for. It lists 50 brain boosters such as salmon and almonds and then has recipes that include those brain boosters with notations on the recipe as to how many brain boosters it has. these 50 superfoods are also listed on his website which you could look at for free and then apply this to any old cookbook. I much prefer the The Younger (Thinner) You Diet: How Understanding Your Brain Chemistry Can Help You Lose Weight, Reverse Aging, and Fight Disease that breaks it down to which neurotransmitters are being supported in each recipe as well as list of spices, herbs, foods, ingredients so that you can customize your own meals; in that book each menu is notated with whether it boosts GABA, dopamine, serotonin, or acetylcholine. This information helps you to boost the aspects of your brain that you want boosted and not possibly cause more of an inbalance to your neurotransmitter ratio levels by further stimulating those that are already too high in relation to the others. Change Your Brain, Change Your Body Cookbook is also one of the thinnest cookbooks I've held in years. However, Amen's cookbook is prettier with beautiful photos; I will pass on it though as I already know what is in this cookbook; if you want a basic beginning superfood cookbook, though, you might really enjoy this one.

Another cookbook I prefer for more nutrient-dense foods is Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) and Dr. Fuhrman's Secrets to Healthy Cooking DVD
