Regardless of age, most of us have experienced a few instances of forgetfulness. Fortunately, there are steps that we can take to improve memory and protect ourselves from the  pitfalls of memory loss.

 In The Memory Bible, Dr. Gary Small, Director of the UCLA Center on Aging, provides information about the newest research on how food, medicines, exercise, alcohol, stress, and many other lifestyle choices directly affect the aging of our brains. With this knowledge we can make more informed decisions to prevent memory loss and keep our brains young.

 

One of Dr. Small's pioneering strategies is LOOK, SNAP, CONNECT. If these steps are practiced daily, your memory will improve in a short time. He also discusses memory protective foods and the most effective drugs and treatments available.
