The Alzheimer's Prevention Cookbook: 100 Recipes to Boost Brain Health Kindle Edition

Advertised as "new" but it was NOT a new book... scratches on the cover (outer paper and hardcover) and a few pages with pencil writing. Still in good condition, but they lied by saying it was new.

I enjoy this cookbook! Great resource of everyday recipes for healthy living (even if you aren't too concerned about Alzheimer's disease).Part1 explains Alzheimer's disease, "the 6th leading cause of death". There are some scientific details about the disease, its' progression, genetics and risk factors. Even if you are not directly affected by someone who has Alzheimer's it provides a simple resource and valuable knowledge. Other educational information includes an explanation of vitamins, food that contain specific vitamins, and why they are beneficial. The antioxidant section has useful information, since this process occurs in both Alzheimer and healthy persons.It does have much more scientific information than any other cookbook I have read. I find any knowledge pertaining to health and diet to be a powerful tool for everyday well being, and enjoyed the extra information.I really like the sections that the recipes are divided into: drinks, breakfast, snacks, soups, salads, main dishes etc. Although I haven't yet tried every recipe, I do find them easy to prepare and great tasting!This cookbook is beneficial for overall great brain and body health. I believe that an active lifestyle in combination with healthy food choices will not only prevent Alzheimer's but many other disease, leading to a longer, happier life.

The book is beautifully done, well written and the food photographs are quite artistic. It is a pleasure to leaf through. The informational section of the book is a slow read even though Dr. Marwan Sabbagh, the author, has tried to define technical words and make it understandable to the average reader. Re-reading it, which I intend to do, should bring a greater understanding of Alzheimer's disease and provide some ideas that we can use in trying to fight this scourge.The recipes look interesting but I haven't made any yet.

My mom was diagnosis with Early onset Alzhiemer's. Since we have starting cooking out of this book she has been more alert, talkative and had tons of energy. The recipes are pretty tasty too. We are going to expand and make some of the recipes for the whole family. I would recommend this to anyone with a family member or friend dealing with dementia or Alzheimers.

THIS IS NOW MY KITCHEN BIBLE. I AM LEARNING A LOT, AND USING MANY SKILLS, THIS BOOK IS TEACHING ME, TO SERVE AT THE TABLE THE BEST FOOD I CAN, TO MAKE US BOTH HEALTHIER AND STRONGER. THE WHOLE BOOK IS FULL OF GREAT SECRETS.ONE BY ONE I WILL ADOPT THEM, FOR BETHER NUTRITION AND CONTROL OF ALZHEIMER'S. THANKS

I would recommend this book to anyone looking do our healthy recipes. Not just brain healthy but as part of your complete arsenal of healthy, period. The first half is well worth the read. As a relative of one of Dr. Sabbagh's patients, I can attest to his incredible knowledge in this area and his high success rate in his care of his patients. As a lover of healthy, tasty foods, I and mystery entire extended family will not be satisfied until we have sampled every recipe in thesecond half of this book. Sumptuous, delicious...Chef Macmillan delivers!
