Keep Your Brain Alive, by Lawrence Katz, Ph.D. and Manning Rubin, presents the first brain exercise program scientifically based on the adult brain's ability to produce its own natural brain food. Developed by a leading neurological research scientist and the author of "60 Ways to Relieve Stress in 60 Seconds," the program offers 83 simple "neurobic" exercises designed to fight off the effects of mental aging by helping to prevent memory loss and increase mental fitness.
We feel this book offers anyone who fears that their mental strength and flexibility will seriously fade as they grow older the chance to take some control over the process. In just the same way that you can exercise your body with aerobics and cross training to fight off the effects of physical aging, you can use neurobic exercises to keep your mind stronger for longer. The exercises are scientifically based on the latest research from leading neurobiology labs around the world including Larry Katz' own research in the Dept. of Neurobiology lab at the Duke University Medical Center. The exercises are deceptively simple but if done on a regular basis as part of everyday activities they will help keep your mind fit to meet any challenge whether it's remembering a name or where you left the car keys, to mastering a new computer program or staying creative in your work.
The exercises use your five senses in unexpected ways that shake up your daily routines. It's not at all like having to sit down with paper and pencil to do what can be an intimidating puzzle or word game. Neurobics have been developed to be easy, fun and offbeat. But like any form of exercise they have to be done with some regularity to be effective.
One of my favorites from the book was brushing my teeth with my non-dominant hand. While doing it, I realized that one of the reasons these exercises have validity in my mind was that it brought a heightened state of awareness, concentration and observation to do it - all the essential ingredients of creating memory that many of my learners have already been exposed to in my classes.
