Produktbeschreibung

Live long and live well! Strong Brains, Sharp Minds unlocks the mysteries of "Qualongevity" (longevity with quality-of-life) by synthesizing, organizing and explaining a wealth of current science on brain health and creative aging. The single most startling insight from emerging brain science research is that behavior and lifestyle choices, when undertaken in a "combinatorial," multi-factorial manner, can effectively prevent cognitive decline and even improve cognitive function. This is game-changing! It means that you have the power, right now to take control of your brain health for the rest of your life. So, rather than acquiesce to what was once thought to be an inevitable decline and debility, you can take action to strengthen the resilience of your brain and stimulate the creative growth of your mind.
The human brain is incredibly "plastic". The structures of the brain and nervous system change their architecture in response to what you do, think, feel, ingest and experience. These changes drive your health, your emotions, you social relationships and your ability to think creatively. Premature aging results from abnormal wear-and-tear on the cellular structures of your body and brain, damage that eventually causes brain cells to malfunction. The more damage, the greater the malfunction. The sooner you avoid or repair the damage, the sooner you seize control of your brain health. Strong Brains, Sharp Minds offers clear descriptions and guidance on (1) how to actively reduce your exposure to risk factors, (2) how to expand behaviors that protect, repair and grow vital structures in your brain and, once you have that control, (3) how to sustain your brain's health throughout the life course.
MINDRAMP Consulting has been monitoring and analyzing brain health research for over decade, tapping into and leveraging the knowledge and insights of the top researchers in this country and abroad. The MINDRAMP Method© presented in this book, reflects our understanding of the most current research. It weaves together disparate strands of research to create a unified approach to brain health and mental development.
We purposely publish this book in digital format because the science-based information can be rapidly updated. Strong Brains, Sharp Minds is a totally revised and vastly expanded replacement for our previous brain health publications. Each revision of Strong Brains, Sharp Minds will continue to reflect new learning and refinements to our approach. Should we discover new information that modifies or contradicts our current conclusions, or that suggest an entirely new approach to brain health, we will integrate those changes in a timely manner.
We trust that you will enjoy reading Strong Brains, Sharp Minds. But, more important to us and to our mission at MINDRAMP, we hope that you take the information to heart (and to mind) and never ever take your brain health for granted. You are - or should be - in control of your brain. It is your most valuable asset and only YOU can keep your brain strong and your mind sharp. One extra request that we call "The Ripple Effect": Please share your progress and insights with your family, friends and associates.
