The Clear Skin Diet:
A Nutritional Plan for Getting Rid of and Avoiding Acne (Hardcover)
by Alan C. Logan (Author),  Valori Treloar (Author)

"The Clear Skin Diet" is designed to help those who suffer from acne to understand what it is, why they have it, what it has to do with their eating habits, and what they can do to prevent it or lessen its impact. Research has shown that there is a strong causal connection between certain kinds of food and acne. There is also a strong connection between the brain and the skin. When a person experiences anxiety and depression, acne-producing hormones are released which can lead to poor dietary choices that are high in saturated fats and sugars. "The Clear Skin Diet" introduces the acne-free diet and lifestyle. Dietary requirements for protecting the skin are listed?along with suggested food supplements when they cannot be easily met?and summarized, as well as mind-body medical interventions that can influence acne hormones and lessen their impact.

The Brain Diet:
The Connection Between Nutrition, Mental Health, And Intelligence (Hardcover)
by Alan C. Logan (Author), Martin, M.D. Katzman (Foreword)

In this second, expanded edition of the best-selling The Brain Diet, Dr. Alan c. Logan incorporates the latest research on the connection between nutrition, mental health, and intelligence.

Most people today know that good nutrition and good health are related and that poor nutrition frequently leads to cardiovascular disease and cancer. Unfortunately, few people realize that poor nutrition also is an underlying facto in other medical conditions, such as depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, migraine headaches, ADD, and much more. This is startling when one learns that researchers have found that the trimmings on a hamburger and a side of fries accounts for more than 50 percent of the vegetables in most people’s diets today.
 
The Brain Diet explores the connection between diet and metal health as well as the importance of diet in realizing the full potential of our intelligence. Dr. Logan shows how bad nutrition hinders the development of our children’s intelligence and adversely affects mental health and success. Despite being just 2 percent of an adult’s total weight, the human brain demands an enormous amount of energy. An ample flow of blood is required for us to think, to reason, to create art and music, to develop technology, and to perform complex work. AS Dr. Logan explains the science behind how our brains function, he also provides suggestions for healthy diet.

Included are the basics of a brain-healthy diet, brain-healthy recipes, helpful charts, and information about food supplements that enhance our mental function (including a description of how these supplements work). This revolutionary new way of looking at mental health and intelligence gives new meaning to the adage, “You are what you eat.”
