A Brain for Life: How to Keep Your Brain Healthy, Live Longer, and Avoid Burnout

Summary

A groundbreaking book by a brilliant scientist renowned for her brain research, A Brain for Life demonstrates how at every age we can reduce our risk of developing dementia—and even reverse the signs once they’ve started.

Dementia is one of the most feared illnesses, and one of the world’s biggest killers, and yet it’s also one of the least understood. Most people believe that the root causes are genetic and that cognitive decline is inevitable as we age.

In A Brain for Life, Dr. Sabine Donnai shows how this does not have to be the case, and illustrates this with the results achieved in her research and with her patients at her groundbreaking longevity clinic. Dr. Donnai discusses the risk factors for dementia—inherited genetics, individual lifestyles, and environments—and shows how with twelve simple lifestyle changes we can offset those risks and help prevent dementia, or even reverse the signs of it once it has started.

Practical and straightforward, A Brain for Life will change the way you think about our body’s most important organ—and show you how to keep it healthy.
