About the Book

A practical guide to maintaining a healthy brain for readers of any age, but particularly those in midlife and older. This book offers scientifically-based information on living a brain-healthy lifestyle. While there is no cure for Alzheimer's and other degenerative brain diseases that cause dementia, research shows that you can reduce your risk for dementia and improve your memory and other cognitive abilities by adopting certain healthy behaviors. Through exercising, keeping your mind active, staying socially connected, and eating well, you can directly improve your brain health and thus benefit your memory, cognitive abilities such as attention and multitasking, and even your mood. Neuropsychologist and gerontologist Vonetta M. Dotson summarizes the science behind brain health and offers behavioral strategies for improving it, such as targeted exercise, social engagement, and cognitive training. Each chapter presents the research behind a given strategy and practical guidance on how to incorporate healthy behaviors into daily life.

Review :
This wonderful book includes detailed and helpful information about how people of any age can improve their brain health. The recommendations are strongly based in science and include practical tips about how we can make changes in our physical activity, stimulate our brains, remain engaged with other people, obtain proper nutrition, optimize sleep, and maintain the vital cognitive skills that help us do things we enjoy in life. This book will be especially valuable for middle-aged and older adults who want to age successfully, avoid Alzheimer's disease and other severe cognitive impairment, and live fuller and more active lives. I'm going to make this book a gift for my friends and family members who want to age successfully but may not know what steps to take.--William E. Haley, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, School of Aging Studies, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, United States
