YOUNGER YOU UNLOCK THE HIDDEN POWER OF YOUR BRAIN TO LOOK AND FEEL 15 YEARS YOUNGER - a book by Eric R. Braverman, M.D. is a wealth of information about how the youth and vitality of the the brain affects the health of the body in general..."If you are not internally young, then you are not truly young or healthy." [introduction pg xxiii]
I like the book because it takes you from one point of importance to the next in a seemingly medical fashion that is more hands-on and informative than a lot of same styled books that get stuck preaching in one dimension. Dr. Braverman starts immediately with explaining the function of the brain and how it affects all aspects of aging then moves right on with the test that allows you to find your own age code. You are launched from there. Nutrition is advised. Chemicals important to brain function are given indepth descriptions with symptoms of deficiencies. There are lots of suggestions for supplements and/or hormone help.Once you realize your weakest spot, the book is formulated so you can go immediately forward to whichever chapter is right to start with.

The amount of information here is abundant without being repetitive or uninteresting. I really appreciated it, although sometimes I wondered if I should be a doctor myself to digest it all. There is plenty of advice, covering a lot for supplements and hormones. .
The differing chapters have suggestions for meals and snacks to help strengthen each area, but I was hoping for more information on nutrition and building my brain power with more natural substances. All in all, it's a great rescource book,covering the subject of brain health and aging with practical advice and a good dose of clarity not usually found in this genre of books.… (altro)
