Synopsis

A proven program from #1 New York Times bestselling author and brain researcher Dr. Daniel Amen to help you change your brain and improve your memory today!
Brain imaging research demonstrates that memory loss actually starts in the brain decades before you have any symptoms. Learn the actions you can take to help not just prevent memory loss later in life . . . but to begin restoring the memory you may have already lost.

Expert physician Dr. Amen reveals how a multipronged strategy―including dietary changes, physical and mental exercises, and spiritual practices―can improve your brain health, enhance your memory, and reduce the likelihood that you’ll develop Alzheimer’s and other memory loss–related conditions.

Keeping your brain healthy isn’t just a medical issue; it’s a God-given capacity and an essential building block for physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Take action against the fast-increasing memory crisis that threatens this crucial part of who you are―and help your brain, body, and soul stay strong for the rest of your life.

From the flap:

A healthy brain is critical to an amazing life, and one of the most important markers of an unhealthy brain is declining memory.

Although this problem is common as we age, it is not inevitable. And memory loss can be treated most effectively in the early stages. If you or a loved one is struggling with recall or memory, no matter how insignificant it seems, now is the time to get serious about your brain’s health.

Memory Rescue is based on an amazingly simple idea: The best way to sharpen your memory, reverse brain aging, and decrease your risk of Alzheimer’s is to eliminate, prevent, or treat all of the risk factors that steal your mind.

You need this book if:

• your memory has never been good and now it’s getting worse
• you frequently misplace your keys or phone
• you often wonder why you came into a room
• you read a book or an article but don’t remember much of it
• you notice that a loved one’s failing memory is interfering with everyday tasks
• you are concerned about a family member who has been diagnosed with dementia

From diet and supplements to brain exercises and the newest brain-boosting therapies, Memory Rescue shows you how to reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s and improve your memory―beginning today.
