Power Foods for the Brain

Plant-based foods are beneficial to the brain and may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. A decline in brain health is not an inevitable part of aging. But how we eat and live can help us protect our memory and stay sharp into old age.

This class will shine a light on the foods and nutrients to prioritize for optimal brain health. Drawing from the book Power Foods for the Brain by Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, the class will guide participants through the research supporting a low-fat plant-based diet for maintaining brain function and minimizing risk for cognitive decline. The class features a cooking demonstration of delicious recipes made from a selection of brain power foods, along with handouts of easy and affordable recipes participants can prepare at home.

Featured Class Topics
• Learn foods and ingredients to prioritize, and those to limit.
