  • Print

The Complete Brain Exercise Book, the second brain stimuli tome from Dr. Fraser Smith, picks up where he left off in Keep Your Brain Young, by penning an exercise manual guaranteed to keep the mind sharp and agile.

Dr. Fraser Smith, who possesses a litany of educational degrees, is the Assistant Dean for Naturopathic Medicine at the National University of Health Science's College of Professional Studies teaches NU HS. Needless to add he is an authority in the activity of the brain.

Creating an entertaining and engaging manual, one that is accessible to the common, everyday man, who honestly would prefer to be doing something else, is exactly what Dr. Fraser has done.

The Complete Brain Exercise Book features over 150 brain exercise and puzzles, with varying ranges in difficulty. The doctor also firmly believes the relationship between the brain health and diet is integral, nutrition is front and center, so he has included extensive brain food lists, menu plans, with more than 100 recipes.

The Complete Brain Exercise Book covers preventing and treating memory loss due to age and disease and covers mental speed, visual-spatial acuity, language acquisition, sensory growth and motor skills. And no this is not a pre-natal or neonatal book, this book is geared to the adult who wants to remain sharp, or recover brain function.

Divided into five parts headed More than Memory, Brain Strength Training Exercises, Brain Hygiene Exercises, A Healthy Body and Brain Food, The Complete Brain Exercise Book, provides background on normal brain function, a breakdown of exercise that keep the cells agile, explaining the importance of external stimuli in relationship to the brain, and best practices.

He also provides insights from his years of study including learning the four steps of the complete brain exercise program, will technology allow us to live longer, what causes dementia, what are some contributing factor to premature aging, what are the best age-fighting nutrients, can stress accelerate aging, How can I make my brain to make new connections?

Dr. Fraser also adds a few did you know? For example people who stay busy and engaged can remain productive and amazingly resilient into their nineties; the adult brain contains between 80 and 100billion cells, each cell has about 100,000 connections to other cells; there are limits to the Brian's short term memory capacity, it can store only seven to 12 digits, or three or four new facts at a time which is surprising given the vast potential of the brain itself and scientists have discovered that the brain can remap functions to new areas.

Also questions like, how does physical exercise benefit the brain; what are some of the best workouts for a healthy brain; what are the best brain foods for a healthy brain, what are good brain foods verses bad?

Dr. Fraser sums up The Complete Brain Exercise Book in one simple sentence, "This is a practical guide to giving your brain new ways to learn and work, with a healthy diet to support your overall well-being."

He also adds, "The greatest errors the average person commits is sticking to the same daily routines and don't learn new things, even if they start with [just] a few, and move outside their comfort zone."

The Complete Brain Exercise Book is a lifetime investment, for less than the price of two movie tickets and concession, in a healthy, happier more productive brain and life. The 256 page soft cover manual is easy to read and bountiful in knowledge.

The Complete Brain Exercise Book is available in in the United States, Canada and London.
