"Grain Brain" proposes improvement plans in three major sections: diet, sleep, and exercise. The most controversial part is the diet part. The author asks us to give up sweets, gluten, and high carbohydrates, and advocates eating meat, eggs, fatty foods, and cholesterol-containing foods. This is a serious departure from most of the existing “healthy recipes” on the market. No wonder they are hacked. Most people are afraid of change and fear of others saying they are wrong, which will allow people to see the weaknesses of their own humanity.
Reflections after reading——
The author actually introduces a main theme throughout the article: for the sake of your brain health, please abandon grains.
If the views in the book are further compressed, I think they are probably as follows:
1. According to the author’s many years of clinical experience, many people are allergic to gluten without knowing it. As a result, many people with depression, hyperactivity, memory impairment and even migraines for many years have been miraculously cured or relieved by changing to a gluten-free diet;
2. Cholesterol is a good thing. Recently, We have all been misled by mainstream medicine in 2017, which is closely related to the wisdom of the brain and future lifespan;
3. Statins (hyperlipidemic) drugs will increase the risk of cognitive decline;
4. The best way to maintain weight loss is to adopt a low-carb, high-fat diet while consuming the same amount of calories;
If it is true as the author said, our entire human race over the years has If there is a problem with the dietary structure, then this is definitely a cutting-edge and subversive book and a point of view. However, I personally feel that in fact, based on these clinical cases and the mechanisms understood by some authors, it is necessary to change the dietary structure. Theoretically, it is still a bit arbitrary. Also, operability is actually not easy for many people. Extended information
