New Optimum Nutrition for the Mind Paperback – 15 September 2009

Bought this book under a recommendation from my peers on my Nutrition course. Found it to be very insightful. I have a relative who is Schizophrenic so it was good to understand how the condition affects them, and put it into perspective. As with all Partick Holford books, it is thorough, whilst still covering a lot of bases. Really pleased with this book - buy the Optimum Nutrition Bible whilst you're at it to obtain a truely rounded base of knowledge to human health.

Patrick Holford is highly regarded among people who understand nutrition. His "Optimum Nutrition for the Mind" was ground-breaking and extremely detailed. I decided to purchase this new version as a work of reference. Holford's theme is that many afflictions of the mind are caused by faulty nutrition e.g. mineral or vitamin insufficiency, food allergy or toxicity compromising metabolic activities. The book cites research and offers hope to sufferers.

Great book full of important information

Very insightful, the author keeps you intrigued and entertained while covering every aspect needed. Lots of info on depression and schizophrenia. Proves just how important diet and lifestyle is and how connected the mind, body and spirit really are.

pages were all screwed up. Missing pages, numbers out of sequence etc. had to buy a new one.

This is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in holistic healing and nutrition. Holford makes it easy to understand and then apply. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

Questo libro dovrebbero leggerlo tutti, ma i medici dovrebbero essere i primi, per poter fare una diagnosi più accurata e migliorare la qualità di vita dei pazienti.

Very helpful and easy to read. Packed with information. I have tried some of the recommendations myself with amazing results.I can't wait to try more. It has helped me improve my health and well-being.

She met the author and asked for the book. She rates him and his ideas. Quite an academic book but an interesting thesis.

Great book

Interesting, but intense......not read it all!

Bought this book just before I started medical school because I had an interest in nutrition and the mind-body relationship, and wanted something that would be relatively easy to read but had also been well-researched. Halfway through the book however, it became clear that he was a complete charlatan – he supports of the hypothesis that there is a potential link in some susceptible children between the MMR vaccine and the development of autism-like symptoms. After that I researched some of his other claims and it became clear that none of the claims he makes in the book could be trusted. Don't waste your money.

This is an formative book on how nutrition aids brain function and good health - a must have for those who are particular about the food they consume and need to know the nutrition for the whole body. This book was a replacement for a book published eons ago titled How to be your own nutritionist - this book was a gift so I have not read the whole book but researched enough to make a decision to give it to a family member.

This is an awesome book with information everyone should know about maintaining good brain function. I'm not going to rant about the horrible things people do to themselves with bad diet and lifestyle choices, but I can suggest they walk away from the TV and read wonderful books like this one to make life better for themselves.

great
