More About This Book

Overview

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 offers a simple plan for repairing those problems, and regaining and maintaining 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

Features a "Life Style Audit," quizzes, brain boosting exercises, and a food and supplement program.

 

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Playing into our culture's obsession with maintaining youthfulness, neurologist Perlmutter and coauthor Colman say the "typical" signs of brain aging-losing your keys, forgetting appointments, having trouble multitasking-aren't necessarily inevitable and are actually preventable. They divide their book into three tiers: factors affecting mental function, tools for developing a better brain and specific brain disorders. Perlmutter, who runs a Florida health center, is quite concerned with showing how brain aging can be prevented and clarity can be regained by making dietary adjustments. He and Colman also warn of the dangers of using prescription or OTC drugs that may be "interfering with your brain's ability to function at optimal levels." From stomach acid suppressors to antidepressants, medications lower brain antioxidants, they say, leaving dangerous free radicals room to roam. Perlmutter and Colman recommend the usual supplemental solutions, but also pay attention to new memory rejuvenating therapies like hormone replacement. There's also an illuminating chapter on the brain toxins present in the average daily diet (e.g., aluminum and mercury), with advice on how to eliminate them. Although the authors sometimes favor an alarmist tone, their book is an informative explanation of how the brain ages and how it can be protected, and it presents novel, practical ideas.

    It will take a brain to find the useful information here

    The author fills out a very good picture of how the brain works and what it needs to work well. He tosses in a list of bad things to remove from your life from transfats to mercury. However, most of the book is about well worn bromides that have been around for fourty years. So, his groundbreaking news items are few and far between.

    Nevertheless, this is a good all around book for taking care of the best tool we have to get through life and live it well. So, I'm a bit divided on the subject. Perhaps, I will find a particular item here that will become very important in helping me maintain my inspirational lifestyle in the future. I intend to keep the book until I can find the focus on the book that works well for me or until I gift it away.
