Brain fitness is also an important part of overall health

Brain Health is Important in Every Stage of Life

With the advent of the New Year, many people have made resolutions concerning health; but most forget about mental and brain health when considering new fitness regimes.

Don't Forget Brain Health

In a press release on January 29th, Dr. Gary Small, author of The Memory Bible: An Innovative Strategy for Keeping Your Brain Young and many other books and articles, seeks to remind people that brain fitness and health is just as important as body fitness and health.  A number of books are now available for download in digital format on his web page, www.drgarysmall.com .  Dr. Small is among the top experts on brain science, and among numerous achievements, he invented the first brain scan that shows the physical evidence of brain aging and Alzheimer's disease in living people.

What Does a Brain Fitness Strategy Entail?

An effective brain health strategy, just like an effective physical health strategy, employs a number of different techniques, including memory and logic exercises, a brain-healthy diet, and stress reduction techniques, among others.

Why is Brain Fitness so Important?

In America alone, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, on average, once every 70 seconds.  This is a frightening statistic, concerning a frightening disease.  It is important that we do everything possible to decrease how common the disease has become, and taking responsibility for our own personal health is just as important as new medical breakthroughs.
