Summary
Eating fast food can be traumatic for the brain. In turn, the toxicity can increase the chance that you may develop Alzheimer's disease.
On this episode of The Exam Room™, Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to explain why foods loaded with fat, sugar and salt can send brain cells into a frenzy! These are the very foods that are staples of the standard American diet!
You will also learn the enormous number of calories the brain burns every day and how much better it can function by eating a healthy diet that contains plenty of whole fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Eating these foods every day can also dramatically reduce the odds that you will become one of the millions of Americans who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Plus, Team Sherzai, authors of The 30-Day Alzheimer's Solution, reveals the brain power boosting foods you need to bring home to your kitchen!
