Summary
Improve your brain health—now and in the future。
While there’s no magic pill that will turn an aging brain into a healthy， youthful one， you are far from powerless when it comes to keeping your brain in tip-top shape。 By learning how your brain works， how to keep it working optimally， and identifying changes you can start making immediately， you can drastically improve your health—immediately and in the long-term。
From Dr。 Marc Milstein， known for his engaging talks on brain science， The Age-Proof Brain is a practical and accessible guide that turns cutting-edge medical research into easy-to-follow advice to help you fire on all cylinders—no matter your age。
Our power to improve brain function and reduce our risk of illness lies in the brain’s connection with the rest of the body—meaning that various lifestyle factors， such as sleep habits and environmental toxins， often have a greater impact on our health than our genes。
The Age-Proof Brain offers integrative， science-supported strategies to:
• Increase your memory
• Fight off depression
• Improve your mood
• Boost day-to-day productivity
• Ignite energy
• Prevent dementia and non-genetic Alzheimer’s
In the process， you’ll also get an entertaining guide to what’s really going on up there， how our brains are connected to our immune systems， and the surprising truth about what doctors previously got wrong about Alzheimer’s and dementia。
By the end of this book， not only will you know how to manage your lifestyle for a healthier brain， but you’ll already be living a happier and more fulfilling life。

Easy to read and informative Great book for the uninformed。 Also lots of good tips。 Also entertaining。 He is not a Dale Bredesen MD。， but good for the general public。

If you have known people who have dementia， you know how painful that makes life。 There is a sense of despair and helplessness which seems to set in， especially because despite years of research， progress has been minimal and slow。 This book provides a good foundation to understand the causes and has solid lifestyle advice on avoiding and possibly reversing early onset of dementia。 The book starts with basic information of how our brain is organized and functions。 The introduction is next follow If you have known people who have dementia， you know how painful that makes life。 There is a sense of despair and helplessness which seems to set in， especially because despite years of research， progress has been minimal and slow。 This book provides a good foundation to understand the causes and has solid lifestyle advice on avoiding and possibly reversing early onset of dementia。 The book starts with basic information of how our brain is organized and functions。 The introduction is next followed-up with triggers for the onset of dementia – genes account for a very small fraction of the cases。 There is information on recent insights on how various factors （blood pressure， sugar， gut bacteria， cholesterol， stress etc） impact the brain。 It is now clear that the build-up is over several years， providing us an opportunity to take steps to better brain health。 There are some interesting titbits such as the impact of feel-good comedy movies， social interaction on not only stress but also bad cholesterol！ The last section includes advice on how you can ward off the disease and has details around – sleep， diet， social interaction， exercise， and mindfulness practices。 My rating: 4。25 / 5。 Thanks to Netgalley， BenBella Books and the author for a free electronic review copy。 I recently read “The End of Alzheimer's: The First Programme to Prevent and Reverse the Cognitive Decline of Dementia” by Dale E。 Bredesen。 There is a good amount of overlap between both books and the advice is largely similar。 While “The Age-Proof Brain” has a larger context and more details on lifestyle practices and their impact， “The End of Alzheimer’s” has more details on the search for a drug， tests， diet and nutrients。 So， if you would like to read both books， start with “The Age-Proof Brain” or you can skip directly to "The End of Alzheimer's"。 。。。more

Do you think you lack focus in your work？ Do you often forget what you read just 5 hours ago？ Do you also feel lazy even when you have had enough rest？Well， the answer to all of these questions is just one - YES。 I had been suffering from these problems but I always thought that I was the PROBLEM。But wait！ Marc says otherwise in his book， The Age-Proof Brain。 The book says， our brain has an age too just like us。 Okay， let me simplify。 The age on your driving license is your chronological age tha Do you think you lack focus in your work？ Do you often forget what you read just 5 hours ago？ Do you also feel lazy even when you have had enough rest？Well， the answer to all of these questions is just one - YES。 I had been suffering from these problems but I always thought that I was the PROBLEM。But wait！ Marc says otherwise in his book， The Age-Proof Brain。 The book says， our brain has an age too just like us。 Okay， let me simplify。 The age on your driving license is your chronological age that is counted from the day you were born。 However， your brain ages faster or slower independent of your chronological age。 The reason why you forget things， the reason why you lack focus， and the reason why you feel lazy and mentally drained is maybe that your brain is aging FASTER than it should。 Maybe you are just 25 but your brain is already 35 or 30 hence， declining each part of your mental capability。But worry not！ The Age-Proof Brain suggests the necessary lifestyle changes that can help us improve our mental health， making us mentally younger and healthier while also keeping possible diseases away。I loved how detailed this book was。 However， this book is no bluff but a practical approach to improving your brain health。 Right from improving your sleep cycle to making you eat healthily， it has every possible solution that you are looking for。I guess if you read this book， you wouldn’t have to watch some random hacks on Youtube about how to be productive or how not to be lazy， how to remember everything you read， or how to be more focused。A must read book that will empower your game 🎯 。。。more

An excellent addition to anyone's aging well arsenal。 I read few non-fiction books where I learn something new， especially in the real of health， medicine or wellness。 That's not because I'm a doctor， or have any formal medical training， but because I've read thousands of medical and health -related books and textbooks over the last three decades of my life。 Ever since my teens， when someone near and dear to me passed away， I was in awe of the medical profession， and how I could better inform my An excellent addition to anyone's aging well arsenal。 I read few non-fiction books where I learn something new， especially in the real of health， medicine or wellness。 That's not because I'm a doctor， or have any formal medical training， but because I've read thousands of medical and health -related books and textbooks over the last three decades of my life。 Ever since my teens， when someone near and dear to me passed away， I was in awe of the medical profession， and how I could better inform myself to prepare for life's ups and downs。 Then， I was diagnosed with depression， and finally， an autoimmune disorder， so I decided to get my counselling designation， to see if I could help others come to terms with life's ups and downs， too。While I've focused more on mental health in my writing and journalistic endeavours， I've always found brain health deeply intertwined with mental health -- so there are more than a few books like， "The Age-Proof Brain，" on my nightstand。 However， as I shared early in this review， few taught me anything new， or provided new insight that I could immediately put into practice。Dr。 Milstein has a storyteller's gift， and alongside their medical knowledge and experience， references studies （I'd yet to have heard of）， effortlessly and gracefully。 While the nuggets I gleaned were more useful as I moved through the book， and the storytelling stronger and more pervasive at the start， I found myself reading late into the night on several occasions - against the advice of the book。 I just couldn't put it down， and for me， that's rare。 There's little I can find fault with in the book。 I'd have loved a printable worksheet or checklist as some form of addendum， to take with me and review on a daily/weekly basis， but now I'm nitpicking。 Highly recommended。 。。。more
