You'll learn how to "feed your brain" with good nutrition, and how exercise can help you maintain mental acuity. And finally, you'll discover how forming new memories is a key strategy for optimizing cognitive function, and how managing stress can help you not only think better in critical moments but also help you keep the brain cells you have.When you understand how your memory works, you are better equipped to optimize it. Whether you're looking for ways to improve your memory while you are young, have noticed that your memory is declining as you age and want to improve it, or are looking for resources for dealing with Alzheimer's (either for yourself or a loved one), this book will help you hold on to those treasured memories for as long as you possibly can.Building BlocksThe Gifts of Neuroscience.
