Brain Agility for Individuals

An agile brain is quick, active, well organized, and has good recall. Brain Agility is about enhancing and maintaining your brain's ability to remember, stay focused, be aware and alert, and to enable you to enjoy life fully. This book describes how your brain functions, how it ages, and how to care for it. It is a "to do" book with a program of 30 days of mental exercises that can improve your cognitive functioning. These exercises are based on current research that shows how a program of exercises can increase blood flow to critical areas of your brain, stimulate the formation of new interconnections among areas of your brain, and promote more efficient brain function. Studies have demonstrated that mental exercise can also reduce the risk of developing brain diseases that may lead to dementia.

You may be concerned about occasional lapses of memory: forgetting the name with the face, where you parked the car, or even that you were to have met someone for lunch. Or you may notice that a parent or other loved one shows more frequent signs of mental aging. Fortunately most of these cases are normal age-related cognitive decline. Numerous research studies have shown that this decline can be forestalled and in some cases reversed by a program of mental activity.

Brain Agility offers 20 to 30 minutes of balanced mental exercise for 30 days together with guidelines for brain care through enhancing a healthy lifestyle. If you would like to encourage a parent or other person to engage in the Brain Agility program, you might consider doing the program at the same time and sharing your experiences with them. This will increase their commitment to following through, demonstrate your concern for their well-being, and likely benefit your cognitive functioning.

It should be noted that Brain Agility is designed to help with normal age-related cognitive decline. Although it may be of benefit in some cases involving a medical condition, it is not intended as a substitute for medical advice and treatment.
