Keep Sharp: Build a Better Brain at Any Age
by Sanjay Gupta
Dr.. Gupta is a national treasure. I first became acquainted with this book when I heard him interviewed on a podcast. He is so engaging when he speaks, and this engagement translates to his writing as well. The book outlines strategies for keeping the brain active and slowing its decline. He includes a 12-week program for building a sharper brain.
Probably my biggest take away from this book is that both physical and mental exercise are critical for longevity— I knew that physical activity was critical for physical health but I hadn’t thought about how physical activity was critical for mental health.
I’m glad that he addresses gluten-free diets and talks about the critical role of carbohydrates.
The last chapter or two was about caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, which wasn’t really pertinent for my situation.
Homework: strength training, sleep more, eat more fish.
