I’ll bet that you never thought of your brain as being healthy or unhealthy.
I know I didn’t.
I thought my brain was my brain, and it would always be the same.
Was I wrong!
We start out, with a healthy brain, but it can become less and less healthy with age. That’s what happened to me. When I regained my brain health, I wrote “A User’s Guide to a Healthy Brain”.
The literature kept telling me that a person’s brain shrunk as they got older, and that’s why older people have poor memory. But the research kept telling me the problem was poor brain health, not age. Alzheimer’s could be prevented, possibly cured, so I wrote “Don’t Shrink Your Brain, Avoid Alzheimer’s and Dementia”.
I knew that wasn’t right!
I knew If your brain stays healthy as you age you should be able to increase what you have in memory, not lose it.
I knew that the health of your brain has a significant effect
on your memory.
And your memory is the lynchpin of your cognitive
abilities.
If memory was declining with age, it had to be the result of poor brain health.
That told me that …
Alzheimer’s dementia and vascular dementia could be prevented, possibly cured.
