It’s generally assumed that we should expect that our cognitive function is going to decline as we age. But, this isn’t exactly what the science reveals. While Alzheimer’s treatment is in the news spotlight, it seems reasonable to consider that our brain function might well remain preserved as we age.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Unlock the secret to extraordinary health by reducing high uric acid levels—the hidden risk you didn't know you had—by the author of Grain Brain and Brain Wash.
Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection. This is especially alarming because a large number of Americans don’t know they are suffering from increased levels, putting them at risk for developing or exacerbating potentially life-threatening illnesses.
Offering an engaging blend of science and practical advice, Drop Acid exposes the deadly truth about uric acid and teaches invaluable strategies to manage its levels, including how to:
- Reduce fructose and foods high in “purines” through simple dietary edits
- Lower uric acid levels through natural hacks like consuming tart cherries, vitamin C, quercetin, and coffee
- Identify common pharmaceuticals that threaten to increase uric acid
- Implement lifestyle interventions, like restorative sleep and exercise
- Easily test your uric acid levels at home—a test routinely performed in your doctor’s office during regular check-ups but typically ignored
Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise-from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem: Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome - the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells ten to one. What's taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions.
In Brain Maker, Dr. Perlmutter explains the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on lifestyle choices, how it can become "sick," and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better. With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, Brain Maker opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.
In Grain Brain, renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, exposes a finding that's been buried in the medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. Even so-called healthy carbs like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, epilepsy, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, decreased libido, and much more.
Groundbreaking and timely, Grain Brain shows that the fate of your brain is not in your genes. It's in the food you eat. The cornerstone of all degenerative conditions, including brain disorders, is inflammation, which can be triggered by carbs, especially containing gluten or high in sugar. Dr. Perlmutter explains what happens when the brain encounters common ingredients in your daily bread and fruit bowls, how statin drugs may be erasing your memory, why a diet high in "good fats" is ideal, and how to spur the growth of new brain cells at any age.
Dr. Perlmutter's revolutionary 4-week plan shows you how to keep your brain healthy, vibrant, and sharp while dramatically reducing your risk for debilitating neurological diseases as well as relieving more common, everyday conditions -- without drugs. Easy-to-follow strategies, delicious recipes, and weekly goals help you to put the plan into action. With a blend of anecdotes, cutting-edge research, and accessible, practical advice, Grain Brain teaches you how to take control of your "smart genes," regain wellness, and enjoy lifelong health and vitality.
La devastadora verdad sobre los efectos del trigo, el azúcar y los carbohidratos en el cerebro (y un plan de 30 días para remediarlo).
El destino de tu cerebro está en tus manos.
Cuando este libro se publicó por primera vez, no sólo conquistó rápidamente el primer puesto de todas las listas de los más vendidos alrededor del mundo, sino que inició una revolución capaz de transformar la vida de más de 1 millón de lectores. El renombrado neurólogo David Perlmutter destapa un tema que había estado enterrado en la literatura médica durante largo tiempo: los carbohidratos están destruyendo nuestro cerebro. Y no sólo los carbohidratos malos, sino aquellos considerados saludables, como los granos enteros, pueden representar amenazas a la salud con consecuencias como demencia, ansiedad, neblina cerebral, depresión, diabetes, obesidad y mucho más.
Las propuestas del doctor Perlmutter #enfocadas en reducir el consumo de azúcares, eliminar el gluten, incrementar el consumo de grasas de alta calidad y aprovechar el poder del ayuno intermitente# trastocaron nuestra idea de una dieta saludable. En esta nueva edición revisada, que integra los últimos descubrimientos en el campo de la nutrición y la neurología, así como un plan de acción de 30 días con recetas renovadas, el doctor Perlmutter nos ofrece una promesa esperanzadora: el deterioro cerebral puede prevenirse con las elecciones de dieta y estilo de vida que hacemos cada día.
Contemporary life provides us with infinite opportunities, along with endless temptations. We can eat whatever we want, whenever we want. We can immerse ourselves in the vast, enticing world of digital media. We can buy goods and services for rapid delivery with our fingertips or voice commands. But living in this 24/7 hyper-reality poses serious risks to our physical and mental states, our connections to others, and even to the world at large.
Brain Wash builds from a simple premise: Our brains are being gravely manipulated, resulting in behaviors that leave us more lonely, anxious, depressed, distrustful, illness-prone, and overweight than ever before.
Based on the latest science, the book identifies the mental hijacking that undermines each and every one of us, and presents the tools necessary to think more clearly, make better decisions, strengthen bonds with others, and develop healthier habits. Featuring a 10-day bootcamp program, including a meal plan and 40 delicious original recipes, Brain Wash is the key to cultivating a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
With more than a million copies sold worldwide, Dr. Perlmutter's books have changed many lives. Now, he's created a practical, comprehensive program that lowers the risk for brain ailments while yielding other benefits, such as weight loss, relief from chronic conditions, and total body rejuvenation. Science-based and highly accessible, The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan expands upon the core advice from Dr. Perlmutter's previous works, and introduces new information about the advantages of eating more fat, fewer carbs, and nurturing the microbiome. Including original recipes, tips and tricks for common challenges, meal plans, and advice on everything from sleep hygiene to stress management, exercise, supplements, and more, The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan shows how to live happily and healthily ever after.
Dr. David Perlmutter's groundbreaking bestseller Grain Brain revolutionized the way we think about our health, exposing the devastating effects of wheat, sugar, and carbs on the brain. By eating the right foods, you can profoundly affect how your brain will be working next year, in five years, and for the rest of your life.
The Grain Brain Cookbook presents more than 150 delectable recipes to keep your brain vibrant and your body fit, all while dramatically reducing your risk for — and treating — Alzheimer's, depression, ADHD, and epilepsy, as well as relieving everyday conditions like headaches, insomnia, and forgetfulness. With delicious recipes for every meal — including Spicy Chicken Burgers with Guacamole, Gruyere-Glazed Pork Chops and Cauliflower "Couscous," and many more — The Grain Brain Cookbook gives you all the tools you need to build a gluten-free diet full of wholesome, flavorful, easy-to-make meals.
What you eat is the most important decision you make every day in terms of your health, and once you've tasted how good the Grain Brain diet can be, you'll want to keep making the right choices day after day.
El doctor Perlmutter nos explica cómo la salud de nuestra flora intestinal llega a determinar la salud de nuestro cerebro.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.
David Perlmutter, autor del bestseller Cerebro de pan, vuelve a la carga con un asombroso dato: la flora intestinal influye de manera directa en cada aspecto de nuestra salud vital, incluido el sistema nervioso.
Recientes hallazgos científicos han demostrado que las bacterias que se encuentran en el intestino interactúan de manera sorprendentemente activa con el cerebro, influyendo así en su funcionamiento. En este libro, el doctor Perlmutter nos explica cómo la salud de nuestra flora intestinal llega a determinar nuestro apetito, nuestro estado de ánimo e incluso el riesgo de padecer déficit de atención, alzheimer y esclerosis múltiple, entre otros padecimientos.
Ciertas decisiones aparentemente inofensivas, como tomar antibióticos, beber agua clorada, comer alimentos procesados e infestados de pesticidas o incluso un nacimiento por cesárea pueden causar cambios prolongados en nuestro microbioma y, por lo tanto, en la salud de nuestro cerebro. La buena noticia es que éste puede ser fácilmente restablecido y su condición óptima puede recuperarse a través de ciertos hábitos alimenticios que aprenderás en este libro, tan simples que no solamente te ayudarán a perder peso, sino a restaurar tu flora intestinal y a mejorar tu salud mental de por vida.
Otros autores han opinado:
"La más importante revelación médica del siglo xxi es que el intestino y esos pequeños bichos que viven allí están relacionados con casi todos los padecimientos crónicos, desde el autismo y la depresión hasta el asma y las enfermedades autoinmunes, la diabetes o la demencia. Alimenta tu cerebro es un hito científico. Por primera vez el doctor Perlmutter conecta los puntos y nos enseña por qué tenemos que cuidar nuestro jardín interno, nuestro microbioma,y ofrece un plan -radical, pero simple- para reiniciar, restaurar y renovar nuestra flora intestinal." - Mark Hyman, autor de La solución del azúcar en la sangre
