Food For the Brain Foundation

What is Food for the Brain and what is the Food for the Brain Foundation? We are a charity, not for profit, a citizen science organization. We have literally the world’s best leading scientists, professors, uh, from all over the world. Uh, we have a whole list from China to America, the uk. Uh, this wonderful man, professor David Smith. He’s the emeritus professor of pharmacology at Oxford University. He was second in charge of the medical school for many, many years. He says, Alzheimer’s is not an inevitable consequence of aging, nor is it all in the genes. It is largely a preventable disease, and we know quite a lot about what people need to do to help prevent it. Simple diet and lifestyle changes made achievable in Food for the Brain’s. Cognition program could cut the risk of developing this terrible and avoidable disease. So the Food for the Brain Foundation is here for you to learn how to optimize your brain’s function and mental health and dementia proof your diet and lifestyle. We call it citizen science. Uh, the lovely man in my badge here is Professor Linus Pauling. He had 48 PhDs and two Nobel Prizes. So what happens is that when you’re diagnosed with a memory problem or dementia, you do a cognitive function test, and we got permission to digitize the cognitive function test. It’s validated, uh, proven accurate. You can’t cheat on it. And we’ve tested nearly half a million people and we’d like you to do the test. It is free and it shows you exactly where your cognition is at right now. The next thing that happens when you do the test is you’ll fill in a questionnaire. It’s called the cognition questionnaire, and it asks you question about your diet and lifestyle. Because what we’ve learned is there are eight drivers, eight domains of brain health. These are eating low carbs and low gl or glycemic load. Optimizing your intake of brain fats of b, vitamins of antioxidants, having a healthy gut, having an active body, having an active mind, and sleeping well and being calm, less stress. And when you do the tests, it will show you your score in each domain. Uh, red is not good and green is good. That’s what you’re shooting for, to get all your cogs into the green. So you’ll learn where to focus for the biggest bang for your buck. What’s the thing that’s gonna make the biggest difference to your cognition, your mental health, your memory, your mood and mental clarity. And that’s our goal is to help people like you to optimize your brain health, your mental health. So please take the tasks and tell everyone you know to do the same. It’s free. Uh, it’s very informative. Your data is immediately anonymized, so we’ll not share any of your private details or emails with anybody. It’s completely anonymous. But in this way, having tested almost half a million people, we have the largest amount of data to really look at what is that perfect combination of diet and lifestyle that’s gonna keep you super healthy and super happy. So please get involved. Go to Food for the brain.org. Take the test, become a citizen scientist. This is prevention inaction. This is how we prevent these terrible diseases that none of us need to get, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is preventable.
