Download or read book Enhancing Cognitive Fitness in Adults written by PAULA HARTMAN-STEIN and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late life is characterized by great diversity in memory and other cognitive functions. Although a substantial proportion of older adults suffer from Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, a majority retain a high level of cognitive skills throughout the life span. Identifying factors that sustain and enhance cognitive well-being is a growing area of original and translational research. In 2009, there are as many as 5.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease, and that figure is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. One in six women and one in 10 men who live to be at least age 55 will develop Alzheimer’s disease in their remaining lifetime. Approximately 10 million of the 78 million baby boomers who were alive in 2008 can expect to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Seventy percent of people with Alzheimer’s disease live at home, cared for by family and friends. In 2008, 9.8 million family members, friends, and neighbors provided unpaid care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. The direct costs to Medicare and Medicaid for care of people with Alzheimer’s disease amount to more than $148 billion annually (from Alzheimer’s Association, 2008 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures). This book will highlight the research foundations behind brain fitness interventions as well as showcase innovative community-based programs to maintain and promote mental fitness and intervene with adults with cognitive impairment. The emphasis is on illustrating the nuts and bolts of setting up and utilizing cognitive health programs in the community, not just the laboratory.

Book excerpt: The motivation to experience pleasure instead of pain unites us all, despite the immense diversity in our thoughts and behaviors. However, the perception of pain is easier than the fleeting feeling of happiness and paradoxically, an obsessive desire for pleasure or an inability to endure pain are conducive to pain, not pleasure. The emotions of pain and pleasure are persuasive and mesmerizing but can also be convoluted and deceptive, and the absence of pain is not enough for happiness. Suffering because of disease, disability, or difficulty is natural, but suffering can subtly interfere with our serenity, and some helplessly abuse substances and other things for happiness. The human brain is marvelous, but there is something suspicious about its practical utility for a flourishing life, and its imperfect intelligence can make us suffer, even when there is no internal or external reason for the pain. Pain cannot be erased from life, but cognitive fitness can alleviate it and allow us to use it, as well as illusive intellect, to our advantage. Cognitive fitness advances cognitive competence and resilience for success; suggests strategies to manage stress, anxiety, disorders, failures and complexity; provides a pragmatic answer to nihilism; and helps to keep the hedonic gauge on the continuum of pain and pleasure as close to pleasure as possible.

Download or read book Brain Fitness written by Suzanne Fitzsimmons and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he brain is the most complex part of the human body. It is the center of intelligence, interprets senses, controls behavior, and initiates body movement. The adult human brain weighs about three pounds is composed of one hundred billion to one trillion neurons. Neurons are specialized cells that use electrical signals to transmit information to other nerve cells, glands, or muscle cells. It is the primary functional unit of the brain. All movement, thoughts, senses, memories, and feelings are the result of signals that pass through these neurons. Attached to the neuron are short, finger-like protuberances called dendrites. Messages are passed from neuron to neuron through the dendrites. Scientists now believe that the brain is able to grow new dendrites and neurons. This is the basis of the Brain Fitness exercises, which were tested over a two-year period by older adults in Port Charlotte, Florida. The brain-stimulating, challenging, novel-enriched activities in Brain Fitness can benefit anyone — regardless of age or cognitive ability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A neuroscientist transforms the way we think about our brain, our health, and our personal happiness in this clear, informative, and inspiring guide—a blend of personal memoir, science narrative, and immediately useful takeaways that bring the human brain into focus as never before, revealing the powerful connection between exercise, learning, memory, and cognitive abilities. Nearing forty, Dr. Wendy Suzuki was at the pinnacle of her career. An award-winning university professor and world-renowned neuroscientist, she had tenure, her own successful research lab, prestigious awards, and international renown. That’s when to celebrate her birthday, she booked an adventure trip that forced her to wake up to a startling reality: despite her professional success, she was overweight, lonely, and tired and knew that her life had to change. Wendy started simply—by going to an exercise class. Eventually, she noticed an improvement in her memory, her energy levels, and her ability to work quickly and move from task to task easily. Not only did Wendy begin to get fit, but she also became sharper, had more energy, and her memory improved. Being a neuroscientist, she wanted to know why. What she learned transformed her body and her life. Now, it can transform yours. Wendy discovered that there is a biological connection between exercise, mindfulness, and action. With exercise, your body feels more alive and your brain actually performs better. Yes—you can make yourself smarter. In this fascinating book, Suzuki makes neuroscience easy to understand, interweaving her personal story with groundbreaking research, and offering practical, short exercises—4 minute Brain Hacks—to engage your mind and improve your memory, your ability to learn new skills, and function more efficiently. Taking us on an amazing journey inside the brain as never before, Suzuki helps us unlock the keys to neuroplasticity that can change our brains, or bodies, and, ultimately, our lives.
