If there is one thing that determines how fully you live at an older age, it is how well your brain works. Your brain controls and powers virtually every aspect of your life–from memory to moods, from thinking to sleeping, from movement to senses–and like the rest of your body, it changes with age. The good news is that now there is a single, reliable, comprehensive source with the information you need to keep your brain working at the highest possible level for the longest possible time.

In Keep Your Brain Young, two of the world’s leading brain doctors guide you through the changes you may encounter as you get older and your brain matures. They calm your concerns about normal changes and show how to minimize them while enhancing your mental and physical functioning. You’ll learn what steps you can take to reduce the risk for serious diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and how to recognize the symptoms of these diseases should they occur. You’ll learn about the brain-body link for other diseases, including heart disease and cancer. You’ll also find out about the rapid progress being made in the treatment of brain disorders.

Based on state-of-the-art research and supplemented with dramatic case histories from the authors’ patient files, Keep Your Brain Young shows you the latest techniques you can use to maintain your memory, manage stress, and cope with sleep disorders. You’ll discover which foods provide the best nutrition for your brain and protect it from illness, how alcohol affects your brain, and how to recognize and cope with the symptoms of depression. Keep Your Brain Young includes prescriptive exercises you can put into action right away.

Don’t let worries about senior moments interfere with your enjoyment of the second half of life. Read Keep Your Brain Young and gain the knowledge and confidence you need to manage the aging process, take care of your brain, and stay active and alert for many years to come.
