In Keep Sharp, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a renowned neurosurgeon, offers a comprehensive guide to maintaining and enhancing brain function at any age. Drawing on insights from top scientists around the world, Dr. Gupta provides cutting-edge research to help you protect your cognitive health and stay mentally sharp throughout your life.
Debunking common myths about aging and mental decline, Keep Sharp explores whether there's a "best" diet or exercise routine for the brain and whether activities like playing memory-boosting video games are more beneficial than social interaction. Dr. Gupta also looks at the lifestyle habits of "super-brained" individuals in their eighties and nineties, showing that it’s possible to maintain mental clarity well into later life.
Additionally, Keep Sharp tackles the issue of brain disease, including Alzheimer’s, addressing the signs and symptoms, and offering strategies to prevent cognitive decline. Dr. Gupta provides a personalized twelve-week program with practical, daily strategies to strengthen your brain, offering actionable steps to keep your mind sharp, no matter your age.
This book is the essential "owner's manual" for anyone looking to maintain a young and healthy brain—whether you're in your twenties or your nineties.
