The Better Brain Book

Summary

From the author of the number-one New York Times best seller Grain Brain and New York Times best seller 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: Building a better brain through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and brain workouts  Coping with specific brain disorders such as stroke, vascular dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and Lou Gehrig's disease  Understanding risk factors and individually tailoring a diet and supplementary program
