Public awareness of the role diet plays in brain function has been
steadily increasing. This has led to significant development of new
products, dietary supplements, functional foods, nutraceuticals and
public health recommendations for maintaining brain function.
Nutrition for Brain Health and Cognitive Performance presents a
detailed and innovative scientific summary of nutrition-cognition
research to provide valuable information regarding nutrition and
lifestyle choices for cognitive health. Internationally recognised
scholars along with the next generation of researchers have
contributed chapters that present a valuable resource for health
professionals, teachers, researchers and the general public. The
book critically reviews the evidence surrounding the impact of
dietary patterns and nutrition on brain function and cognitive
performance. It covers diverse topics such as: Innovative new
technologies that assess brain function Tools for measuring mood
and its relation to nutrition How a diet rich in fruits and
vegetables coupled with low consumption of meats can prevent
cognitive decline in ageing adults Effects of glucose, omega 3s,
vitamins and minerals, nutraceuticals and flavonoids on cognitive
performance Cognitive benefits of herbal extracts such as ginseng,
ginkgo biloba and green tea Use of technology such as neuroimaging
and noninvasive brain stimulation (NBS) to capture nutrition
effects on cognition and brain function Presenting state-of-the-art
scientific evidence, challenges, and potential applications within
this exciting field, the book promotes and extends the research,
teaches the process of research in this area, and promotes a
collaborative understanding of the field between industry and
academia. It gives you a balance of rigorous scientific information
and analysis on the impact of dietary patterns, nutritional
components and research processes to support brain health and
