  Brain Longevity shows us how we can work to improve memory and diminish the effects of age-associated memory loss, keeping our minds youthful, creative, and dynamic. Brain Longevity offers a four-step plan based on both Eastern and Western medical traditions, including the latest research on brain chemistry. It reveals how the right diet, exercise, meditation, and supplements can revitalize and regenerate your mind and memory. Most of all, it is the only program to use Dr. Khalsa's own findings on cortisol, an adrenal hormone produced both in reaction to stress and as part of the aging process, a substance proven to be toxic to human brain cells. In Brain Longevity you'll learn how cortisol accelerates the aging of the mind - and how to reverse this condition.

  HELP! I'M ONLY 40 YEARS OLD AND I CAN'T REMEMBER A THING! You took care of your body. You've been taking care of your heart. Now you're a model of health and fitness, but your brain is letting you down. Is there anything you can do to stop the slide into forgetfulness, mental dullness, and mental old age? Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., says there is a lot you can do, from cutting your body's output of the adrenal hormone cortisol -- a substance proven to be toxic to human brain cells in excessive concentrations -- to making the powerful connection between a happy spirit and a well-functioning mind. In a book full of great news, dramatic scientific evidence of ancient truths, and practical help, you will learn: -- how brain-specific supplements such as coenzyme Q-10, phosphatidyl serine, and Gingko biloba can increase short-term memory power-- which nutrients, antioxidants, and supplements help feed your neurotransmitters-- how to increase your body's production of melatonin with mind-body exercises-- how to improve your sexual life for a healthier and sharper mind-- which medications work best and which ones to avoid.

  Many people passively accept factors like diminished brain power, reduced sex drive, and the loss of youthful exuberance, even though they are only entering their forties and fifties. Dr Khalsa argues that these factors are not a natural part of growing older, He claims that our brains can be rejuvenated, and we can get back our memories, our energy, our good mood, and our youthful sex drive. When we are under stress and we age , he claims, we naturally produce an adrenaline hormone, cortisol, which is toxic to the brain when present in excessive levels. This dimishes the ability of the brain to concentrate, remember facts and learn new ones, and savages the body's hormones governing the regulation of mood and sex drive. This work explains how each of us can reverse the effects of ageing activity. Dr Khalsa provides a step-by-step programme for using complementary medicine from Eastern and Western traditions, and describes what each person can do to return to mental and physical vibrancy through the use of medicine, exercise, food supplements and diet.
