Power Foods for the Brain

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.

In this class we will:

• Learn foods and ingredients to prioritize, and those to limit.

• Explore vitamins and nutrients that support brain health.

• Examine supplements to add to your daily routine and those to avoid.
