The Better Brain Solution ― How to Sharpen Cognitive Function and Prevent Memory Loss at Any Age

A groundbreaking guide to fighting--and even reversing--memory loss, from the author of the bestselling 30-Day Heart Tune-Up and Smart Fat

In this important and urgently needed book, Dr. Steven Masley offers a program that can enhance cognitive performance and stop cognitive decline, before it's too late. We are currently facing two urgent epidemics: escalating rates of disabling memory loss and rapidly increasing rates of diabetes and pre-diabetes. Yet amazingly, both conditions are largely preventable. Based on Dr. Masley's extraordinary research and success with thousands of patients, The Better Brain Solution presents a step-by-step approach to making meaningful lifestyle changes that can lower elevated blood sugar and improve cognitive performance to prevent or delay memory loss, including information on brain-boosting foods and supplements, easy-to-prepare recipes for dishes that improve brain and body health, and a prescription for effective exercise and a practical way to assess cognitive function. Whatever your age--and whatever your current blood sugar level--the advice found in The Better Brain Solution is the path to a better, more efficient brain.
