This book is a follow-up to Train Your Brain: sixty Days to a Better Brain. I've received lots of letters from readers since the first book came out, and I am delighted to know that people everywhere the world are now making these drills a regular part of their day-to-day routine. To keep things new, we have made one change to the format of the exercises.
We have included a few simple division problems for you to clear as you work through your each day brain-training exercises. Brain function naturally starts to deteriorate after our 20s just like our physical and muscular strength gradually weaken as we age. However, just as you can maintain your physical strength if you exercise on a regular basis, you can keep your brain power from deteriorating by offering day-to-day stimulation for your brain.
In my neuroscience lab, I developed the exercises in this book in order to activate the biggest regions of the brain. These brain wellness exercises increase the delivery of oxygen, blood, and several amino acids to the prefrontal cortex. The result is a lot of neurons and neural connections, which are features of a healthy brain.
Who is this book for?
Grownups with the following symptoms:
*Increasing forgetfulness

Simple calculations really work!
While browsing through this workbook, you may have noticed it consists only of simple calculations. Some of you may be wondering why an adult, who's intellectually active at work and at home, would need to do such elementary school-level math. Through my research I found that simple calculations activate the brain more effectively than whatever other activity. I also discovered that the better way to actuate the biggest regions of the brain was to solve these calculations speedily. That is why I've created the easy-to-solve problems you see in that workbook to help you Train Your Brain!
Calculation and oral reading exercises are the optimum training techniques according to the newest brain research
My latest research proved that reading aloud, solving simple calculations, and writing activate the brain most effectively.
Brain training encouraged the ability to remember by 20 percent
My research team carried out research with elementary school students. We counted how many words they could memorize within 2 minutes and found that, on average, they could memorize 8.3 words (the equivalent figure for grownups is 12.2). When we conducted the same test later a 2 minute calculation exercise, the average word count remembers increased to 9.8 and after 2 minutes of reading out loud the average increased to 10.1. Our results show that these exercises encouraged the kid's ability to remember by more than 20 percent.
The calculation and reading aloud exercises acted as a warm-up for the students, allowing them to perform best on the word memorization tests.
Simple calculation and oral reading exercises alleviated symptoms of dementia
My team also conducted an experiment with 12 dementia Alzheimer type patients. We gave our patients at 10 minutes-a-day writing and oral reading exercise and a ten-minutes-a-day calculation exercise to be performed 2 to 5 days a week. Cognitive and prefrontal cortex function of non-participant subjects that didn't do the calculation and oral exam reading exercises deteriorated during the six-month follow up. However, with participant subjects that did do the exercises, we succeeded in preventing deterioration of their cognitive function, also as improving their prefrontal cortex function.
