       of aging. Science now shows that you can make changes, no 
       matter your age, to protect your brain. Join the authors 
       as they guide you through a science-based tour of dementia,
       including how your brain works and how its function is 
       affected by everything from blood circulation and blood 
       pressure to sugar levels, medications, vision, and 
       hearing"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "Worried about memory loss and dementia risk? This new 
       book will show you easy-to-follow steps to keep your brain
       healthy.Emily Clionsky, MD, and Mitchell Clionsky, PhD, 
       are a physician and neuropsychologist couple who have 
       cared for their own parents with dementia, created a test 
       used by doctors to measure cognitive function, and treated
       more than 25,000 patients with cognitive impairment. In 
       Dementia Prevention, they combine the most current 
       scientific findings about Alzheimer's disease and other 
       dementias with their experience to present a practical 
       guide that empowers you to improve your brain's future. 
       This book skips the fads, the unsupported claims of 
       advertised products, and fringe theories. Instead, the 
       authors guide you through a science-based tour of dementia,
       including how your brain works and how its function is 
       affected by everything from blood circulation and blood 
       pressure to sugar levels, medications, vision, and 
       hearing. You will learn how your activity level, weight, 
       habits, mental outlook, and social engagement may affect 
       your likelihood of developing dementia. Dementia 
       Prevention provides a dementia risk checklist to better 
       understand your personal risk profile to help you on your 
       journey. The authors' training and experience as 
       behavioral scientists will help you set better goals, 
       identify roadblocks to success, and overcome these 
       obstacles. Forgetfulness and confusion are not an 
       inevitable part of growing older-you can make changes to 
       keep your brain working well into your 70s and beyond. 
       From how you breathe while you sleep to what you do 
       socially and physically every day, Dementia Prevention 
       will give you practical-and sometimes surprising-methods 
       for you to protect your brain"--|cProvided by publisher.
