Dr. Lisa Mosconi talks about her book Brain Food on the way diet affects the mind. (4/29/19)

Though it may seem like common sense, like our bodies, our brains have very specific food requirements. In Dr. Lisa Mosconi’s book “Brain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power,” the neuroscientist and integrative nutritionist proposes a complete food plan, while calling out health trends, including why that paleo diet you are following may not be ideal, why avoiding gluten could be a terrible mistake and how simply getting enough water can dramatically improve alertness. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Mosconi on the link between what you eat and how you feel, in this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI.
