The invincible brain : the clinically proven plan to age-proof your brain and stay sharp for life / Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD (neurologist, adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University) with Eve Adamson.
"Dr. Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, world-renowned neurologist and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins, is leading the charge in revolutionizing how we understand human intelligence, brain health, and age-related cognitive decline. In this pioneering book, he reveals the true wonder of how the brain works and its infinite potential for growth and change. Supported by over thirty-five years of original research, The Invincible Brain demonstrates how targeted lifestyle changes can prevent, treat, and even reverse mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer's disease, dementia, ADHD, and concussion symptoms. Dr. Fotuhi's twelve-week program is backed by extraordinary clinical results, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, showing that more than 80 percent of patients achieve exceptional improvements in memory, focus, and other cognitive functions. In elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment, MRIs show a 3 percent increase in the volume of the hippocampus, the key brain region for learning and memory. This actionable guide provides a step-by-step formula for unlocking your brain's hidden potential, building resilience, and maximizing mental acuity at any age. In this book, you'll discover: the five pillars of brain health (the most essential strategies to optimize fitness, sleep, nutrition, mindset, and brain training for lifelong cognitive vitality); a new understanding of Alzheimer's (the truth about dementia and Alzheimer's, including the latest in testing and treatment); customizable brain exercises (fun, scalable techniques to enhance memory, problem-solving, and focus); a brain-boosting diet plan (a nutrient-rich plan linked to fewer Alzheimer's plaques and tangles - keeping your brain up to eighteen years younger); stress-management tools (DIY biofeedback and mindfulness practices that can boost heart rate variability, a key marker for a calmer and more resilient brain); sleep-optimization techniques (proven methods to boost deep sleep for overnight brain detoxification and renewal). The Invincible Brain delivers everything you need to empower your brain to thrive - in as little as twelve weeks. Your smarter, sharper future begins now"-- Page 4 of cover.
