Book excerpt: Acclaimed neuroscientist Gary Wenk reveals the fascinating impacts of exercise on the brain Decades of research demonstrate that regular modest levels of exercise improve heart and lung function and may relieve joint pain. Regular daily exercise will help your body to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation, and many of these benefits are a consequence of reducing the amount of body fat you carry around. Your body clearly benefits in many ways from regular exercise. Does your brain benefit as well? Does regular exercise positively affect brain function? Does our thinking become faster because we exercise? Does running a marathon make us smarter? Dr. Gary Wenk's goal is to provide a realistic perspective on what benefits your brain should expect to achieve from exercise. Your Brain on Exercise skillfully blends scholarship with illuminating insights and clarity. Without requiring any specialized knowledge about the brain, Your Brain on Exercise entertainingly illustrates the intersection between brain health, the consequences of exercise, and our need to eat in an entirely new light. An internationally renowned neuroscientist and medical researcher, Dr. Wenk has been educating college and medical students about the brain and lecturing around the world for more than forty years.

Book excerpt: Keep your brain young, healthy, and sharp with this science-driven guide to protecting your mind from decline by neurosurgeon and CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Throughout our life, we look for ways to keep our minds sharp and effortlessly productive. Now, globetrotting neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta offers “the book all of us need, young and old” (Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Code Breaker) with insights from top scientists all over the world, whose cutting-edge research can help you heighten and protect brain function and maintain cognitive health at any age. Keep Sharp debunks common myths about aging and mental decline, explores whether there’s a “best” diet or exercise regimen for the brain, and explains whether it’s healthier to play video games that test memory and processing speed, or to engage in more social interaction. Discover what we can learn from “super-brained” people who are in their eighties and nineties with no signs of slowing down—and whether there are truly any benefits to drugs, supplements, and vitamins. Dr. Gupta also addresses brain disease, particularly Alzheimer’s, answers all your questions about the signs and symptoms, and shows how to ward against it and stay healthy while caring for a partner in cognitive decline. He likewise provides you with a personalized twelve-week program featuring practical strategies to strengthen your brain every day. Keep Sharp is the “must-read owner’s manual” (Arianna Huffington) you’ll need to keep your brain young and healthy regardless of your age!

Book excerpt: “This book busts all the myths about the brain and replaces them with solid science, great humor, and a completely accessible writing style.” —Christiane Northrup, MD, #1 New York Times-bestselling author The differences between men and women go well beyond the surface, and the brain is no exception to this. Scientists and researchers are continually learning about the phenomenon of women’s brains. Health and science writer Sondra Kornblatt brings to readers the latest scientific studies about how women’s brains and brain memory work.

Because of this, it is imperative that women are conscious of how their daily habits are affecting them. Caring for our minds is important at all stages of our lives, but it becomes especially important as we age. With experience in counseling, hypnosis, coaching, yoga, neuro-linguistic programming and more, Kornblatt is an experienced and knowledgeable source for learning and growing. By recognizing the diversity of forces that influence the female brain, Kornblatt enables readers to be proactive in caring for their brain.

The open discussion of these typical derailers, the constant link to spirituality and the ultimate step of the reader interacting with the issues through the workout at the end of the chapter make this book a practical guide to living a happy and fulfilling life.” Ajay Srinivasan Chief Executive - Financial Services Aditya Birla Group “Rajiv has managed to combine wisdom and practice in one tome, which is never easy.
