The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power by Lisa Mosconi
How to eat and drink for maximum brain power and health
Dr. Lisa Mosconi is an expert in neuroscience and nutrition.
Mosconi is the associate director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City.
Mosconi concludes that Americans, with their affinities for coffees, Frappuccinos, sodas, juices and alcohol, are basically walking around in a state of dehydration, which can be devastating for the brain.
About 40% of Americans, she discovered, drink fewer than four glasses of water a day, including 7% who drink no water at all. "This is incredibly dangerous," Mosconi stated during an interview: Water intake and Alzheimer's prevention.

| Mosconi PhD: Brain Food |
Her research is well known regarding the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease in at-risk individuals using brain imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). She is passionately interested in how risk of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease can be mitigated, if not prevented through the combination of appropriate medical care and lifestyle modifications involving diet, nutrition, physical and intellectual fitness.
