Summary:
Do people tell you that brain fog and losing your memory is all a normal part of aging? Modern diets, a stressful lifestyle, and environmental toxins all take their toll on the brain. The good news is the brain is extremely adaptable and wants to get well: you simply have to know how to feed and care for your brain. Learn how to spot brain degeneration and stop it before it's too late. Kharrazian teaches you strategies to save and improve brain function, as well as simple diet and lifestyle changes that can profoundly impact your brain health.
