He avoids refined carbohydrates and added sugars, focusing instead on nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, berries, nuts, venison, and fish 1. Attia believes that the quality of food significantly impacts both physical and mental health, noting emerging research linking sugar consumption to Alzheimer's disease 2. He explains, "Most people agree when they eat better, they cope better with stressful things" 2.
