There is growing evidence that we can enjoy a fully functioning brain for a lifetime. In The Fit Brain, Dr. Sanjay Gupta draws on the most recent studies to reveal the secrets of cognitive longevity. First bypass the traps and myths that exist about brain health, then provide practical exercises in an innovative and accessible 12-week program to develop our brain. Before we have memory problems, we have the opportunity to achieve a brain resistant to disease, even when there are genetic risk factors. In the case of people who are already suffering from cognitive impairment, or are in charge of a family member with dementia, Dr. Gupta gives us his long experience to make tomorrow more productive and positive.
