Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, the married codirectors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Health, advise that good nutrition is crucial for a healthy brain in this informative and sobering debut. The authors note that almost six million people in the U.S. have Alzheimer’s, and make the case that readers can improve and protect their brain function with the NEURO (nutrition, exercise, unwind, restore, and optimize) plan. It features a diet free of animal products and refined carbs, and while the authors touch on NEURO’s other four components (“unwind,” for example, sheds light on the cognitive effects of stress), their focus remains on nutrition. They outline foods that readers should eat regularly—leafy green vegetables, whole grains, berries—and lay out which foods to avoid, such as cheese and sugary drinks. A sample “30 days of brain boosting” guide offers a meal and exercise plan, and beautiful photography accompanies the more than 75 recipes, such as “Memory Boosting Granola” and “Brainy Tabouleh.” Well-written and easy to follow, this program will be a boon to health-conscious readers.

The 30-Day Alzheimer’s Solution is more than an impressive guide to fighting a disease that has devastated families and communities—it’s also a fantastic cookbook with something delicious for everyone at the table. The Berry Nice Cream Cake is hands-down one of my favorite desserts of all time, and a new mainstay in my house. I also love the Herbed Cauliflower Rice, Hearty Bean Soup, and Cornbread Muffins!
