Receiving a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or some other brain-related illness is devastating. It feels like life, as you know it, is over, and you are powerless to do anything about it. Your future may seem like nothing but a long black tunnel of decreasing cognitive function, declining mobility, depression, and premature death. Even your physician may share this gloomy view. The good news is, you have more control over your brain health than you think! With the exception of cancer, many brain illnesses can be reversed through a combination of diet, exercise, supplements, proper sleep, avoiding and removing toxins from the body, and taking an epigenetic (turning good genes on and not-so-good genes off) approach to your healing. Several “jump start” techniques, including oxygen therapy, microbiota therapy (Gut Flora Transplant or GFT), photobiomodulation therapy (PMT), venous angioplasty, and even cannabis can enhance your recovery in as little as a few weeks. Never before have we had so many safe approaches with little or no side effects. Best of all, these treatments are now available on almost every continent, including Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. It is time we let go of our paternalistic concept that “doctor knows best.” This book describes all the above treatments and more, providing a roadmap to enhance your brain recovery. You may not feel like it right now, but you can win the brain game, and this book can show you how!

Easy-to-understand science-based strategies to maximize your brain’s potential. Concerns about memory and other thinking skills are common, particularly in middle age and beyond. Due to worries about declining brain health, some seek out dubious products or supplements purportedly designed to improve memory and other cognitive abilities. Fortunately, scientific research has uncovered a clear- cut set of evidence- based activities and lifestyle choices that are inexpensive or free and known to promote brain and cognitive functioning. Dr. John Randolph translates this science in an engaging and accessible way, including the brain- boosting effects of exercise, social activity, mental stimulation, task management strategies, nutrition, and positive self-care. Interwoven with lessons from neuroscience, positive psychology, social and clinical psychology, and habit formation research are powerful self- coaching exercises designed to help the reader incorporate lifestyle changes that promote brain health.

The Fool’s Guide to “Brain Health” Greetings fool, who did NOT know about the “top mistakes to avoid to keep brain healthy and prevent cognitive impairment”... Do you feel glitchy ever so often in your mental matrix? Meaning do you experience such “symptoms” in your system error logs: finding it harder to think and do everyday tasks that were once easy, forgetting simple things that were once part of your ingrained memory, feeling tired and sleepy for no apparent reason other than just breathing, etc. Then you are experiencing unfortunate occurrences of “cognitive impairment.” Your brain is like an organic supercomputer, and over time, it does begin to wear out with age from all the usage - or non-usage by neglecting to keep your mental hardware in check and in shape. The fact is, we all succumb to some degree of “mental decline,” thus becoming not as sharp as we once were due to our aging brains. Yet, the problem is if the process is progressively premature, happening rapidly sooner, especially if it’s a result of an injury, a degenerative disease, or other underlining health issues. Many times we make the mistake of brushing their symptoms aside, thinking they will naturally get better with rest and the brain will be good as new after waking up the next day. Sadly, that’s not the case here, because like a computer - a simple reboot will not automatically fix the hidden registry errors. However, unlike a computer - you can’t replace your brain whenever you want. That’s why it’s important that you take care of the one you have now. “Brain Health Mistakes” will run through the crucial maintenance that is not to be neglected to keep your brain optimized and performing at its optimum best. Let your chosen fool card guide you through “Brain Health Mistakes”: - Behavioral changes causing mental abilities to slip - Reckless choices putting brain at risk for damage - Substances that may be slowing down your brain - An advancing societal threat to our neuroplasticity - An antiquated art comeback to sharpen the mind - One vital thing needed to regulate neurochemistry - How to not overexert the brain to its breaking point - The easily accessible activities used to train the brain - The three main power-food fuels to amp up your brain - What effects do those around us have on brain structure And there’s a bunch more wisdom from the fool card. Our brains are our bodies’ command center, though we often fail to intervene when its system error messages are transmitted at our way, allowing not only our brains to slowly and surely deteriorate, but also our bodies to lose gradual functions. Well, no more! Regain control and restore your brain and body back to a high-octane state now!

Keeping your brain healthy is just as important as physical exercise. Peter Tremblay and Dr. John Chang's The Amazing Brain Health Puzzle Book for Adults provides you with a unique combination of puzzle games that are as fun as they are stimulating to overall brain health. Your brain regulates your body's vital functions and a younger brain helps support a younger body. Here are some features to look out for in this action-packed thrilling ride for your mind, body, and soul: Word search puzzles help stimulate pattern recognition and spelling skills. They can also help to expand vocabulary. Mazes have also found their way into this book, having fascinated humans for centuries. Did you know that the oldest known maze was found on rock tomb in Sardinia, Italy, and dates back 4000 years? The brain power which is used to solve mazes corresponds with spatial awareness and navigation skills. In their "spot the difference" puzzles, you need to first identity the objects that you see. This involves our occipital lobes, the part of our brains responsible for visual perception. You then need to compare and contrast spatial relationships between pictorial features, which involves both the occipital and parietal lobes. Spatial awareness manifests from our parietal lobes. Having to quickly contrast what you're seeing in both photos involves stimulating your short-term memory in the parietal lobes. Taking note of the differences mostly uses your frontal lobes, which are vital to such short-term memory tasks. Crossword puzzles exercise the parts of our brain related to vocabulary and overall problem-solving. Studies have shown that both sudoku and crossword puzzles are linked to significant anti-aging brain health benefits when integrated with a broadly healthy lifestyle. Marupeke, another kind of puzzle featured in this book, was invented by Naoki Inaba, who is reputed to be Japan's and the world's most prolific inventor of grid logic puzzles. Futoshiki, gokigen, akari, tatami, sikaku and other Japanese-inspired logic puzzles that this book presents further complement a great brain workout.
