In this revolutionary book, best-selling author Jean Carper shows how the right food and nutritional supplements can have a strong impact on the brain's performance. Debunking the myth that we are born with a brain of genetically determined size and potential, Carper instead shows it to be an ever-evolving organ capable of being improved. She shows how to raise a child's IQ before birth; how some fats stunt brain cells; which vitamins boost intelligence; how high blood pressure can shrink the brain, and much more. By turning complex scientific research into fascinating and useful reading, she can help readers of all ages maintain a sense of well-being that Will last throughout their lives.
