Fast forward to the 21st century. Obesity, heart disease and diabetes plague our society. With so much new information, what's the best way to maintain a healthy, brain enriching diet?
According to Gemma Reece, author of Brain Food, "diet affects the brain chemicals that influence your mood, behaviour, thought processes, learning ability, and reactions." Tonight we will learn about what foods are best for the brain and why. We will identify the nutrients the brain needs for optimal functioning, what foods to get them from and even share recipes for easy, nutrient-rich meals.

When turning into the campus from eastbound Walnut Hill, the best route to take may be the driveway prior to the light for the main entrance. The driveway curves away from the main entrance (direction towards North Central Expressway) and the entry to the parking lot is on the left (gated entry). The Fogelson Building has a small dome on top and is next to the Margot Perot Center.
Using the underground parking is the easiest way to reach the meeting location; if entering from the main floor, cross the foyer (past the stairs) and take the elevators to the ground floor. Classroom A is to the left off the elevators.
Remember that parking is now free! Be sure to get your validation sticker at the start of the meeting.
