Don't be frustrated by "senior moments." Learn the secrets and strategies that can sharpen your memory You've spent a lifetime building your memories, Now find out how to keep them safe and at the same time improve your powers of recall and boost your mental fitness. Dear Reader, The human brain is remarkable. It weighs just three pounds but holds the sum total of all you remember, what you've done, who you've known, where you've been — in short, who you are. Like other parts of the body, the brain changes with age. You may find yourself forgetting things more frequently, or finding it harder to concentrate. You may have trouble remembering names or where you put the car keys. The good news is that, no matter what your age, it's not too late to take steps to prevent memory loss. There's a lot you can do to keep your brain healthy and resilient and even improve its ability to create, retain, and recall facts and memories. Improving Memory, a Special Health Report from Harvard Medical School is an instructive and empowering guide for keeping your brain healthy, your mind active, and your thinking skills sharp. Ever wonder how much forgetting is normal and how much is too much? Or why we remember exactly where we were when certain events occur? Why there are some memories we can't forget even when we want to? If medications could be contributing to your memory loss? Or if it's true that a daily drink improves one's ability to remember? The report will tell you. With easy-to-adopt recommendations, the report will show you the practical steps that lead to better brain health. You'll be briefed on the value of both physical and mental exercise (and the best activities for each), the role of sleep and dreams, which foods are most beneficial (is fish really a brain food?), and which vitamins are not. Plus, the report will give you specific techniques to improve your ability to retain new information. You'll learn effective memory-enhancing tools and organizational strategies to help you remember more and forget less. Even tricks for remembering those elusive names and disappearing keys. So, for all the memories you've made, and for those yet to come, order your copy of this important Special Health Report now! To your good health, Anthony Komaroff, M.D. Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School Senior Physician, Brigham and Women's Hospital Editor in Chief, Harvard Health Publications
