Younger Brain, Sharper Mind: A 6-Step Plan for Preserving and Improving Memory and Attention at Any Age from America's Brain Doctor

No one can avoid gray hair and wrinkles, notes Eric Braverman, professor of integrative medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College—but what about preventing the brain from aging? Here Braverman offers a simple, science-based plan that can help prevent such side effects of aging as memory loss, cognitive decline, and mood changes. This 6-step program helps spur neurogenesis—growing new brain cells as one ages—through tests that assess attention span, memory, and cognitive function, a diet including certain foods proven to support brain function, and a set of exercises for both body and brain, designed to keep you healthy and functioning at a high level.

"With a few simple yet critical life changes recommended by Dr. Braverman, we can enjoy each decade at our physical and mental best."—Nicholas Perricone
