Product Description

Review
"Written in an easy to understand style, Saving Your Brain contains a good deal of "meat" and summarizes what we know and do not know about healthy living. An excellent contribution for the lay person who wants to know more."
--Michael Ronthal MBBCh, FRCP Associate Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School
"In his usual spirited and entertaining way, Dr. Victoroff challenges us all to be more proactive in attempting to maintain our most critical personal assets, our minds. His clear, logical and balanced perspectives in preventative psychological neurology are as refreshing as they are informative. Saving Your Brain is an intelligent anchor that is welcome in the rising tide of simplistic, overhyped brain nostrums. This is indeed news that we can use."
--Steve G. Massaquoi, M.D., PH.D., Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General

"Neurology has traditionally been a pretty strange branch of medicine, where incredibly highly-trained practitioners, using cutting-edge science, could mostly just tell you what was wrong and why they couldn't do much about it. In recent years, a remarkable amount of information has emerged about what you can do to decrease the chances of falling victim to some of the features of brain aging that haunt us. Neurologist Jeff Victoroff presents a wonderfully helpful overview of this good news -- accurate, up to date, accessible, and elegantly written."
--Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D. Professor of Human Biology, Department of Human Biology, Stanford University

"From the Hardcover edition."

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeping your mind in shape, 27 Dec 2003
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
The pace of neuro-scientific discovery is rapidly increasing, bringing good news. Among other subjects, this book deals with memory loss and provides 10 practical steps to counteract it. It also provides physical activities to boost brainpower.

Part I discusses the brain, memory and diseases like Alzheimer’s. Part II provides the various remedies. These include stress management and the use of substances like Growth Hormone, Melatonin and DHEA. The avoidance of Aluminium is discussed here.

The section titled Food For Thought includes the Brain Saving Diet and discusses vitamin B12, Folate, Iron, Calcium, Phytochemicals, Essential Fatty Acids, Anti-Oxidants, Smart Drugs (Nootropics) and the benefits of chocolate and tea, which are very real.

There are selected references arranged by chapter, an index and black and white illustrations of neurons and synapses. This valuable book complements other informative titles on this subject, like Khalsa’s Brain Longevity and Ray Sahelian’s Mind Boosters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Brain, 26 April 2009
By Ron Lawrence "book lover" (Maidstone, Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
Nearly half way through, and this is a very interesting book and if like myself you have a partner with alzheimers you will certainly learn a lot. My own feeling as I started reading this book was, wouldn't it be tragic if I also suffered from this condition as I would not be able to care for my wife. Now I do at least have some guidance on how to try to avoid it.
My only complaint as a layman is that the medical terms can often be (unavoidably) difficult to understand and the abbreviated forms hard to remember. Perhaps in any future editions a glossary that could be consulted quickly would be a great advantage.
