Keep Your Brain Alive:
83 Neurobic Exercises to Help Prevent Memory Loss
and Increase Mental Fitness
by
Lawrence C. Katz, Ph.D.
Based on leading neurobiological research, Keep Your Brain Alive
introduces a regimen of mental cross-training—a series of
simple exercises that help stimulate the production of natural growth
factors called neurotrophins, which in turn grow brain cells and keep
the brain younger and stronger. And nothing so easily stimulates the
brain as breaking routines and using the five senses in new and
unexpected ways.
So if you’re right-handed, wake up tomorrow and brush
your teeth with your left hand. Or close your eyes before you get in the
car and insert the key into the ignition. Every time you open a new
circuit in your brain, it’s like doing a round of mental sit-ups.
