The Better Brain Book: The Best Tools for Improving Memory and Sharpness and Preventing Aging of the Brain

Summary

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and New York Times bestseller Brain Maker . . .

Loss of memory is not a natural part of aging—and this book explains why.

Celebrated neurologist David Perlmutter reveals how everyday memory-loss—misplacing car keys, forgetting a name, losing concentration in meetings—is actually a warning sign of a distressed brain. Here he and Carol Colman offer a simple plan for repairing those problems, clarifying misconstrued connections between memory loss and aging, and regaining and maintaining mental clarity by offering the tools for:

&#9679 Building a better brain through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and brain workouts

&#9679 Coping with specific brain disorders such as stroke, vascular dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and Lou Gehrig's disease

&#9679 Understanding risk factors and individually tailoring a diet and supplementary program
