Brain Food: Recipes for Success in School, Sports, and Life

Author: Vicki Guercia Caruana

Reports abound on the direct connection between how well kids eat and how successful they are at learning and competing in sports. But what should they eat? A nutritionist and an educator explain what to feed growing kids ages one to eighteen, including those with diabetes, food allergies, and AD/HD, to develop their maximum physical and mental potential. Meal plans and recipes showcase specific brain stimulating foods along with practical suggestions for preparing and serving brain foods (including snacks) that kids will actually eat.

Caruana, an educator, and Hammer, a nutritionist, guide parents in creating and understanding good nutrition for their children. Parents who have no foundation will find this work informative and helpful, especially if they need assistance in altering their children's diets because of lethargy or weight gain. There is a nifty chart of "The Best" and "The Worst" foods in various categories; although it oversimplifies food, it helps one decide on which foods to cut down on and which to purchase in bulk. The major fault here is that the recipes are filled with packaged foods and various instant mixes. This book takes part in the growing nationwide acceptance of "special children's foods" that are fun and healthy but are a "snap" to make. Although the cover is full of whole foods, the content slightly overlooks the fact that they are better, healthier, and also less expensive than prepackaged, presliced, and processed food items. Recommended for public libraries with a cookbook/child development collection.
