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
