While most brain exercise books are focused on preventing and treating memory loss due to aging and disease, this book addresses the steps for increasing mental speed, visual acuity, language acquisition, sensory growth, and motor skills.

The author deals with the recovery of brain function along with a prevention program including neurological disease.

The Complete Brain Exercise Book features 100 entertaining and engaging brain exercises and puzzles. There are also interactive questionnaires that enable the reader to assess brain health followed by expert counsel on growth and ultimately, positive progress working through the book.

Because the relationship between brain health and diet is absolutely integral, diet and nutrition are front and center, with extensive brain food lists, recipes and menu plans.
