It is naturally assumed that with age comes a decline in mental function. The everyday forgetfulness associated with misplaced car keys, a familiar face – with no name recognition, or a forgotten phone number are just a part of aging. Right? Not according to David Perlmutter, M.D., FACN, renowned neurologist and author. He advocates that loss of memory and acuity is NOT a natural part of aging. He believes these everyday memory loss issues are signs of a distressed brain and shows us how we can repair and even reverse some of our mental acuity. In his book, The Better Brain Book, Dr. Perlmutter addresses all of the factors that can influence brain health and gives detailed recommendations for dealing with them.
