This book was a number one bestseller in Japan, selling more than 2 million copies! Designed for readers who want to keep their minds sharp and stave off the mental effects of aging, this book presents a complete 60 day program to build a better brain. The program consists of a daily worksheet of simple caclulations that takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Each week, readers take a short evaluation test to measure their progress. The world has long recognized that physical exercise helps maintain a healthy, well-working body. Now it's time to acknowledge that our brains need a regular work out too!
"I have developed a program of keeping your brain young that consists of a daily program of simple calculations. It may sound too simple to be true, but my research has shown that this activity increases regional cerebral blood flow to the largest portions of the brain and stimulates the creation of neural pathways.
We all age, and it is only natural that our brains age too. The good news is that mental decline is not inevitable. We can keep our bodies younger and healthier through regular exercise. The same is true for the brain – if you exercise your brain, you can prevent your cerebral function from deteriorating.
It’s never too early to begin building a better brain! It only takes a few minutes a day."
