It is difficult to find a creation more complex than the human brain. And paradoxically, it is the least known creation. We are completely dependent on this little over a kilogram of jelly in our heads. Moods, desires, emotions, consciousness, intellectual abilities - all of this is the responsibility of the brain and its specific structures, together with a number of neurotransmitters produced in the nervous system and changes taking place in the biochemical soup.

What affects our brain, what it comes into contact with every day, shapes who we are. How it functions to a large extent depends on us, on what we - literally and figuratively - feed it every day.

Modifying our diet, behavior and routine - and therefore brain function - is essential for the prevention of many diseases and for better everyday functioning. We can do much more to improve the performance of our brain than any other organ in our body.

Today we are sure that, among others, this:

•  what and how we eat
• what condition our intestines are in
•  how much time a day we are on the move
•  how much importance we attach to quality rest and sleep
• it largely defines the health and full functioning of our brain!

Dr. Asia Podgórska introduces the reader to the relationship between lifestyle and the condition of nerve cells. If you want to get to know your brain better, understand how neurons communicate with each other, what neuroplasticity is and where serotonin comes from, this book is just for you!
