Main description:

Diet and Nutrition in Neurological Disorders offers readers a comprehensive reference on the effect of dietary regimes in a wide variety of neurological diseases. With coverage of different types of diets, including Mediterranean or DASH, this broad coverage allows readers to learn about diets and their affect on specific disorders which may well be relevant to other conditions. This includes diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, MS and severe neurological conditions such as brain injury, stroke, headache and migraine. This volume provides a platform for research on new dietary regimes and on future investigations of diet and nutrition.
