Product Description
Product Description
The brain, like the muscles, heart, and other organs, is made of flesh and blood and requires proper care to maintain its optimum state of wellbeing. In this remarkable prescription for brain health, Dr. Larry McCleary reveals not only how to forestall the effects of aging, but, also, how to improve brain function. Taking a unique metabolic approach in his scientifically-based programme of prevention and regeneration, Dr. McCleary shows readers how to: - Assess their risk for memory loss and other cognitive impairment - Incorporate a comprehensive regime of a brain-building diet, brain-specific supplements, mental (and physical) exercise and stress reduction techniques to enhance memory, acuity and clarity - Personalise the three-part Brain Trust programme for a more dynamic brain from childhood to age 100 - Avoid surprising and common lifestyle pitfalls that may unknowingly damage brain cells - Relieve or greatly reduce migraines, hot flushes and hearing loss

This Book Should Be Required Reading for Everyone
25 Sep 2007
Format:Hardcover
If you read only one book this year about improving your brain, as well as your body, make it The Brain Trust Program. If you still feel you need to read two or three other books, put down whatever else you're reading. Instead, pick this up and start reading it until you finish, which won't take very long because it's such a compelling and easily readable book.
I'm not sure exactly what I expected when I picked it up, other than maybe I had a fear that it would fly right over my head because a brain surgeon's writing just might be jammed with complicated medical jargon. I was wrong, and found it readily readable. I was also surprised to find it's not filled with the same mumbo-jumbo I've read in other self-improvement books, which can not only be difficult to comprehend but often fail to offer any reasonable life-changing suggestions. From the opening chapter about life experiences of people who've suffered from brain-drain and overcome it, to succeeding chapters about how the brain actually functions; determining whether you're at risk; how to care and feed your brain and body through nutrition and exercise; which nutrional supplements work and which don't really help your body or brain in the least; and how exercise makes a dramatic difference in your brain functions and your overall outlook on life, The Brain Trust Program unfolds in easy-to-read fashion. There's even a chapter specifically devoted to menopause, migraine headaches, how to prevent your senses from dimming over time and how to potentially offset the dreaded effects of Alzeheimer's Disease, which so many of us either now face or will face in the coming years.
Also included are some great mental exercises, much like gym workouts, designed to help you in a matter of weeks start improving your brain and eventually keeping your brain whip-sharp along the way. They even help you improve your brain power far into the future. It's a program that simply lets you work at your own pace to improve your mental and physical abilities today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life. Unlike so many other similar books, The Brain Trust Program isn't a chore or drudgery. It's fun, and you'll wonder why it took so long for somebody to make such easy, simple-to-follow suggestions, along with why you hadn't figured it out yourself and started improving your life sooner.
I know this might seem as if I'm gushing, but I'm genuinely surprised by how much I thought I knew about improving my mind and body before I opened this book, and then shockingly realized I didn't know as much as I thought.
I believe this book can make a significant difference in my life. And it can also make a difference in your life, in the lives of your children and especially in the lives of your parents and grandparents.
The Brain Trust Program should be required reading for everyone.

A MUST READ IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR OWN HEALTH
8 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
If you are interested about the numerous "diet" books and health programs out there, this books helps to put it all in perspective. When you finish reading it, you'll probably want make your brain a priority. Why? Because the way we "feed" our brain by what we eat and what we do not eat, is going to affect our brain's health for the rest of our lives and no one wants to end with a "bad" brain.
In this book you'll find awfully interesting, practical, explanations and a simple how-to help yourself guide. Dr McCleary's book is easy and enjoyable to read, so much so that I gave it to my 12 year old with the warning: "This is the most important book about your health you can ever read." A few hours later she was saying, "You know, mom? If I load myself with candy bars this is what happens to my brain..." To say I was thrilled to hear my daughter talking about the effect of sugar overload is an understatement. Dr McCleary's book might well become the key to good health to today's youth and the starting point to healing and prevention for us, the middle aged.
Dr McCleary also has a web site with very good articles (www.drmccleary.com)

The actual subject about nutrition for your mind is a fascinating one and something that people should be made aware of. The way how this was put in Larry McCleary book was fairly average. I found his real mission was to sell his own range of very overpriced vitamin products. When you have someone selling you their products and talking about medical research then you have a major conflict of interest. About a third of the book is taken up by mind exercise games which are nothing more than very basic adding and subtracting formulas which there are mistakes in.
I found Your Miracle Brain by Jean Carper a much better read. Like all this research you need to keep an open mind on it
