Change Your Brain

This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by D-Monk.

Dr. Amen's book uses SPECT brain imaging to study how the activity in different parts of the brain affect different types of behavior. The book also studies the chemical interactions underlying over- or under-activity in each part of the brain and then suggests prescriptions which include diet, exercise, behavior changes, medication, and diet supplements.

For example, reading this text suggests that D-Monk has an underactive pre-frontal cortex which leads to inattention, bad impulse control, and disorganization. An underactive pre-frontal cortex is often caused by a lack of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine can be raised in several ways including:

+ a high protein diet;
+ taking diet supplements such as tyrosine, grape seed, and ginko biloba;
+ taking a stimulant medication such as adderall; and
+ listening to Mozart.

D-Monk has found this book to be very insightful, educational, and helpful. I think all curious readers would enjoy this book.
