Short description
Brain power typically starts to decline around the age of 40; but age-related memory loss can be prevented and even reversed with the use of supplements and a good diet, or what Jean Carper refers to as 'nutritional neuroscience'. This book also looks at how exercise, both mental and physical, can enlarge and regenerate the brain
Long description
In this revolutionary book, best-selling author Jean Carper shows how the right food and nutritional supplements can have a strong impact on the brain's performance. Debunking the myth that we are born with a brain of genetically determined size and potential, Carper instead shows it to be an ever-evolving organ capable of being improved. She shows how to raise a child's IQ before birth; how some fats stunt brain cells; which vitamins boost intelligence; how high blood pressure can shrink the brain, and much more. By turning complex scientific research into fascinating and useful reading, she can help readers of all ages maintain a sense of well-being that Will last throughout their lives.
