Download or read book The XX Brain written by Lisa Mosconi PhD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller! "In The XX Brain, Lisa meticulously guides us in the ways we can both nourish and protect ourselves, body and mind, to ensure our brains remain resilient throughout our lives." --from the foreword by Maria Shriver The first book to address cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer's prevention specifically in women--and to frame brain health as an essential component of Women's Health. In this revolutionary book, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides women with the first plan to address the unique risks of the female brain. Until now, medical research has focused on "bikini medicine," assuming that women are essentially men with breasts and tubes. Yet women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, and strokes. They are also twice as likely to end their lives suffering from Alzheimer's disease, even when their longer lifespans are taken into account. But in the past, the female brain has received astonishingly little attention and was rarely studied by medical researchers-- resulting in a wealth of misinformation about women's health. The XX Brain confronts this crisis by revealing how the two powerful X chromosomes that distinguish women from men impact the brain first and foremost and by focusing on a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of women's health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches to protecting the female brain, including a specific diet proven to work for women, strategies to reduce stress, and useful tips for restorative sleep. She also examines the controversy about soy and hormonal replacement therapy, takes on the perils of environmental toxins, and examines the role of our microbiome. Perhaps best of all, she makes clear that it is never too late to take care of yourself. The XX Brain is a rallying cry for women to have full access to information regarding what is going on in their brains and bodies as well as a roadmap for the path to optimal, lifelong brain health.

Book excerpt: For something many of us love and admire, creativity is a wildly misunderstood thing. One big mistake is seeing creativity as something only a few of us are born with, while the rest of us just have to sit back and watch the special people have all the fun. But that's not true at all. Creativity is in all of us. And just like with anything else we're all capable of, like speaking with animals or levitating or controlling the weather, it comes more naturally to some of us than others. Some of us just need a little more practice. The more we practice, the better we get. And the better we get, the more energizing and encouraging it all becomes. We can learn to let our minds stumble down new paths, discover the unexpected, and express what we find in words or imagery or emotions, abstract or concrete, big or small. Along the way, we realize everything can be a creative act. Planning meals for the week or walking to work can be as expressive and fulfilling as writing a novel or painting a portrait. The 365 challenges in this book are designed to help you find the many creative sides of yourself, whether you incorrectly think you aren't creative or you're already a creativity world champion (not a real thing) who could use a challenge. Take on one brief a day. Or binge them all. Or roll the dice and let fate decide. There is no right or wrong. The worst thing that can happen? You'll discover new ways of being creative at work, at home, and everywhere else in your life.

Download or read book Summary Study Guide Brain Food written by Lee Tang and published by LMT Press. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Improve Memory, Prevent Cognitive Decline, and Avoid Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Forms of Dementia This book is a summary of “Brain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power,” by Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D. Forty-six million people are living with dementia worldwide today, and this number will skyrocket to 132 million by the year 2050. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. No medication or supplement can delay or stop the progression of the disease because treating a patient once clinical symptoms have emerged is too late. Recent medical research offers us hope. Based on research from multiple specialties, Dr. Lisa Mosconi shows that lifestyle interventions such as dietary choices, weight modification, and physical activity could prevent Alzheimer’s, minimize cognitive decline, improve memory, and maximize brain power. As the most active organ of the body, the brain has nutritional needs ten times higher than other organs. Most people’s brains are underperforming because they are undernourished. In Brain Food, Dr. Mosconi explains how food affects our cognitive health and offers a complete food plan for optimal brain nourishment. Eating for your brain not only helps you prevent cognitive decline, but also helps you increase brain vitality, improve memory, cognition, and work performance. This guide includes: * Book Summary—helps you understand the key concepts. * Online Videos—cover the concepts in more depth. Value-added from this guide: * Save time * Understand key concepts * Expand your knowledge

Book excerpt: Do you worry about cognitive and mental decline as you get older? Do you worry about dementia? A healthy brain is a key to a high-quality life, especially when you get older. How can we nourish our brain the same way we nourish our bodies? Nature provides for foods that nourish both the body and brain. Most often the focus of the diet is physical nourishment, - muscle building, weight loss, energy, athletic performance, and many others. Similar to foods that help the body, there are many foods that help the brain, improve memory and help slow down the aging process. While it is normal to have your physical and mental abilities somewhat slow down with age, diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s accelerate these declines even more. As we age, brain function decline accelerates, and more and more brain cells eventually die over time. In a normal brain (one not impacted by Alzheimer’s or dementia); your brain may compensate for the loss of nerve cells in many ways: •As the brain loses some of its nerve cells, it attempts to make connections between remaining nerve cells •The brain may form totally new nerve cells especially, in cases, where one is learning a new language, a new musical instrument, or something that has not been done before. Learning something new most often results in new brain connections and new nerve cells. •In addition, some of brain’s “unused” or redundant cells come into play as they are now activated Besides losing cells, and brain attempting to compensate them, there may be other impacts to the brain due to age such as: •Blood flow to the brain decreases •Nerve cells may lose some of the signal receptors for messages coming out of senses such as eyes, ear, skin etc. •Nerves conduct/transmit signals more slowly. This can cause a slower response, or increased reaction time or slow reflexes •Short term memory, vocabulary, ability to learn new things are impacted With regular exercises, strength training, practicing martial arts, and other physical activities can arrest the physical decline. This book’s primary focus is on managing the decline in mental and brain function through diet and contains the following: •Characteristics of foods that help in keeping your brain healthy and young Brain healthy foods including meats, fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs and seafood •Supplements to improve memory, cognition and support brain health •Mediterranean diet recipe ideas •DASH diet recipe ideas •Asian diet recipe ideas •Brain boosting supplements and recommendations products and dosage •References Food for the brain is an easy read and gives you a number of ideas to keep your brain healthy and is a useful book in your healthy living toolbox.
