Description
THE REAL PATH TO BRAIN HEALTH--BASED ON CUTTING-EDGE BRAIN SCIENCE
Let's face it: you want to keep your brain in great shape. But But how do you sift through the clutter of information and media coverage in order to find the facts?
The Brain Bible
One of today's leading experts on brain health, Dr. John Arden tells it straight: There is no single remedy for maintaining sharpmindedness into old age. But there are a lot of things you can do that, over the course of time, will work wonders. It's not about adding one activity or breaking one habit--it's about making many small, simple changes in your everyday routine.
Dr. Arden culls the latest findings in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, gerontology, and many other sciences and puts them all together into a smart, actionable, science-based plan. Basing his conclusions on cutting-edge research, Dr. Arden has broken down the vast amount of confusing and sometimes conflicting brain data into the five crucial Brain Bible factors you need to be mindful of:
-Education - Read and keep your brain active
-Diet - What you eat and drink directly affects your brain
health
-Exercise - Starting a fitness routine is simpler than you
think
-Relationships - The love of friends and family has a strong
healing power
-Sleep - Get enough but not too much sleep
Here are just a few samples of Dr. Arden's tips for improving your brain health:
- Drink water even when you're not thirsty
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator
- Laugh a lot
- Don't drink alcohol before going to bed
- Eat fish at least twice a week
If you want to keep your brain
sharp--and who doesn't?--The Brain Bible is packed with the simple
lifestyle changes you will want to make. After exploring the five Brain Bible
factors, Dr. Arden shares indispensable advice on how to lower your everyday
stress level. Then he provides the 7-Day Brain Bible Jumpstart Plan you can use
to start changing your lifestyle and improving your brain today.
The Brain Bible can help make your brain--and your life--better than ever.
