Book Summary: Genius Foods

 

Max Lugavere & Paul Grewal, MD
Summary by Mounir Aswad,
Max Lugavere wrote the book after his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer. He researched and read thousands of papers on the subject, meet with many Doctors and Nutrition experts. What distinguishes his work is the listing of the top 10, the insertion of carb day in one's week for “Metabolic flexibility,” and the considerable importance of fasting. 
Note regarding genes: contrary to the belief that neurogenesis happens only during youth, we create neurons during all of our lifetimes. Our choices can't change our genetics but can change chemicals on top of our DNA Called epigenome, thus improving or altering the result.
P.S, regarding my summary, I listed the top 10 first then categorized similar points together.
