Nutrition and the Aging Brain

Perhaps because aging and I are becoming inseparable companions, I am
increasingly interested in anything that might slow or even prevent the
cognitive decline that often accompanies the aging brain. In a previous book,
I analyzed how activities such as systematic exercise, cognitive stimulation,
and even affectionate and social activities could lead to cognitive sharpening
and psychological resilience. I realized subsequently that the impact of
nutrition on delaying cognitive decline was at least as important as those
activities. Hence this book.
