When it comes to keeping your brain in tip-top shape, you aren't limited to crossword puzzles, brain games, and Sudoku. The keys to keeping your mind sharp are already in your hands: eleven simple but powerful lifestyle factors often have a greater impact on our health than our genetics.

In The Age-Proof Brain, scientist and popular speaker Dr. Marc Milstein shares "complex science in simple (and often humorous) examples, case histories, and 'how-to' guidelines that are guaranteed to change your life" (Dr. James B. Mass). This book reveals the secrets to improving brain function, which lie in the brain's surprising connection with the rest of the body.

Debunking common misinformation, The Age-Proof Brain offers new, breakthrough science-supported strategies to improve memory and productivity; increase energy and boost your mood; reduce the risk of anxiety and depression; form healthy habits to supercharge your brain; and prevent non-genetic Alzheimer's and dementia. Dr. Milstein also arms you with knowledge about common and often overlooked issues that prematurely age the brain (including the surprising truth about what doctors previously got wrong about Alzheimer's and dementia), and shares a seven-day challenge to help you jumpstart new brain-healthy habits.

Very informative and lots of good material. Gets a bit too science-y sometimes for my taste. Such a good purchase for aging family members….all the new science.

I will read a few times. Excellent. Bubbi Lorraine must be so proud how she inspired you to help so many. Never a dull moment, easy to make it to LTM, but I will still further encode! Thanks! Now the trick is to get more people to read it….

Excellent Book about Protecting the Brain from the Ravages of Aging

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

I rarely read medical self-help books. With a background in science, I prefer information and advice that is evidence based. This evidence should come from reputable, peer-reviewed sources. Instead, I frequently find pseudo-scientific nonsense. Books are often narrowly focused, and written by biased “experts” with an ax to grind. (And sometimes with products to sell.) “Paleo,” raw vegan, and gluten hysteria are some typical examples.

Dr. Milstein’s excellent work is a welcome exception. What sets it apart is that it is strongly rooted in up-to-date, mainstream medical science. I believe this volume could serve as a graduate level textbook on the neuroscience of cognitive processes in the human brain. I feel confident that the science is accurate. The text is extensively referenced, from an extraordinarily wide array of the scientific literature. (In fact, there are 50 pages of references, but they must be accessed on Dr. Milstein’s website, at least in my Kindle edition. I must admit this was probably not a wise decision on the part of the publisher.) The book avoids dogma; it doesn’t shy away from admitting the occasional uncertainties which exist at the cutting edge of this rapidly evolving field. Yet, at the same time that there is academic rigor, the information is presented in a clear, easily understood manner. Explanations of the science helped clarify for me subjects I thought I understood. I was also introduced to much information about which I was ignorant.

The book delivers admirably on the author’s promise to provide the reader with “simple, scientifically valid, concrete and actionable steps that can significantly protect… [the] brain.” Some of the benefit of the Dr. Milstein’s program will not be apparent immediately. After all, the aging process takes years. However I was pleasantly surprised to find that much of what he suggests does, in fact, provide rapidly noticeable positive effects. Examples include techniques to reduce stress, improve sleep, and exercise in a manner that is enjoyable, rather than painful.

Is there anything with which I disagree? The only subject I feel I have even limited competence to critique is the dietary advice. Here, there are one or two statements with which I might quibble. But I must acknowledge that Dr. Milstein has such an encyclopedic knowledge of the scientific literature that I would be very hesitant to debate with him.

A few words on style. Dr. Milstein writes in a casual, conversational manner. He doesn’t talk down to the reader, but at the same time even complex topics are explained clearly, and skillfully. He also has a wonderfully engaging, dry sense of humor. The book is a pleasure to read.

The Age-Proof Brain deserves wide readership. In addition to giving useful advice on maintaining one’s health, it is also an admirable example of what books of popular science can be.

Thorough and challenging.

I wanted a book that would help me avoid becoming a victim of Alzheimer's. I haven't put all the suggestions of this book into my life yet having just finished it. They appear scientifically valid so I am anxious to start.

One thing I noticed is that many words are accompanied by a small number which I thought would indicate an end note that would give more info. I didn't find any anywhere in the book.

I bought this book a couple of days ago. This book is loaded with such great tips! It's easy to read and the author writes in an entertaining and engaging way. I have read a lot of health books. This one is easy to understand, & filled with tips that I didn't know before. The tips are easy to follow and implement in my day to day life. This book is very uplifting and makes me feel like I can really take control of my brain health. I already started using some of the sleep tips and they are so helpful. Highly recommend!
