Keep your brain young, healthy, and sharp with this science-driven guide to protecting your mind from decline by neurosurgeon and CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.

Keep Sharp debunks common myths about aging and cognitive decline, explores whether there’s a “best” diet or exercise regimen for the brain, and explains whether it’s healthier to play video games that test memory and processing speed, or to engage in more social interaction. Discover what we can learn from “super-brained” people who are in their eighties and nineties with no signs of slowing down—and whether there are truly any benefits to drugs, supplements, and vitamins. Dr. Gupta also addresses brain disease, particularly Alzheimer’s, answers all your questions about the signs and symptoms, and shows how to ward against it and stay healthy while caring for a partner in cognitive decline. He likewise provides you with a personalized twelve-week program featuring practical strategies to strengthen your brain every day. Keep Sharp is the only owner’s manual you’ll need to keep your brain young and healthy regardless of your age!

Dr. Sanjay Gupta‘s measured explanations and coverage of the pandemic always impressed me, and his approach to building a better brain, especially if you‘re looking to ward off dementia, didn‘t disappoint. He lays out the typical advice you‘d expect to hear like exercise more and eat your veggies. What makes this book different are the numerous studies he covers to explain why this advice works.

CBee I love him 😊 1y

Interesting and informative. Bottom line; as in all healthy lifestyles, proper diet, exercise, stress management, tobacco free living, etc. all lead to good brain health.

Not sure I agree with everything in this book, but overall I found it full of useful information, and I appreciate that he approaches this difficult topic with inspiration rather than fear mongering. There were some things I wanted him to cover that he never discussed, but he definitely provided some good food for thought (no pun intended).
