Product Description
No more punch lines that just slipped away. No more names on the tip of your tongue. No more senior moments! Drawing on cutting-edge neurological research, how to keep your brain alive: 83 neurobic exercises brings help to everyone whose memory is starting to slip. Devised by Dr. Lawrence Katz, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center, and Manning Rubin, author of 60 Ways to Relieve Stress in 60 Seconds, here is a regimen of mental cross-training that can be done anywhere, by anyone, at any time of day. The premise is simple: When you exercise the brain, you release natural growth factors called neurotrophins, which in turn enhance the brain's level of fitness. And nothing so easily stimulates the brain as breaking routines and using the five senses in new and unexpected ways. So if you're right-handed, wake up tomorrow and brush your teeth with your left hand. Or close your eyes before you get into the car and then get the key into the ignition. Every time you open a new circuit in your brain, it's like doing a round of mental sit-ups, without the pain.
Customer Reviews
The fun and easy brain exercises found in Keep Your Brain Alive offer quick ways to increase the connections in your brain. Try them for a week or so. They work.But for me, the real treasure in this book is that it renewed my awareness of how often we humans operate on auto-pilot, and how disabling one sense can engage others . . . thereby creating vital new connections. I'll close my eyes more often to get a more complete read on a person, a situation, and improve my brain's ability to access critical areas of information in the process.Contemporary studies indicate that people with more education, people who've used their brains more often and in more depth (i.e., people with more "connections"), can overcome the effects of the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's disease (at least for a while) because the brain is able to rewire or reroute information around the afflicted area. That alone makes this fun little book, a quick and easy read, worth more than the price of admission.Highly recommended!Phyllis Staff, Ph.D.author:"How to Find Great Senior Housing," and"128 Ways to Prevent Alzheimer's and Other Dementias"
