Your Healthy Brain addresses the marvelous phenomenon of brain function... The brain is the most important, misunderstood organ of the body. Often we treat ourselves as if the brain did not even exist - an attitude that translates into abuse and neglect. THE HEALTHY BRAIN PROGRAM© is an innovative approach to the care of the brain. Brain disease, reaching epidemic proportions, is having a greater impact on our society than any other illness. The Healthy Brain Program teaches what is good and bad for the brain. The program succeeds by producing a cognitive shift, realizing the brain, like the heart, as a vital bodily organ and by providing actionable plans in eight well researched, evidence based, disciplines of biomedical knowledge: The Eight Pillars of Brain Health and Longevity: 1. Safety
2. Nutrition
3. Physical Fitness
4. Mental Activity
5. Sleep
6. Stress Management
7. Hormones
8. Treatment Disease (risk factors for dementia). About the Author: Stephen Kiraly is a clinical psychiatrist with special interests in aging, stress hormones and brain health.
