3/9/20 Suggested Reading

Not in any particular order. I read a wide variety of health-related books, some of them with opposing views. I generally try to follow the things that are across the board in all of them...after I do a ton of research. I have read all of these, like some more than others, found great info in all.

Most of the time I'll first check the books out of the library to see if they are something I want to have on hand permanently. The books with an asterisk are ones in my permanent library.

After I read I usually go find them on Facebook, join their group and try to keep up.

• Some studies suggest that nutrition plays a role in dementia. In Nutrition for Brain Health, authors Laura Town, Karen Kassel, and Amanda Boyle discuss the nutritional changes people can make to promote brain health and possibly lower the risk of developing dementia and slow the progression of the disease in those already diagnosed with it.
