The Memory Prescription : Dr. Gary Small's 14-Day Plan to Keep Your Brain and Body Young Book

I'll admit, I didn't DO the plan over a 14-day period, like he suggests. I took one look at the suggested menu for the two weeks, and decided not to implement that part. I do, after all, consider my tastes in food to be quite wide and varied, but I do not like oatmeal for breakfast, and I can't stand grapefruits or bananas. (He does offer some substitute menu items, but I decided that to eat healthier, I need to eat more fresh fruits and veggies that I DO like, and I'll most likely get the same results.)
I liked the subjective and objective memory tests he provides at the start of the book--which you take before the 2-week trial period and then after, to measure your mind progress. Dr. Small has very well-founded advice which links a healthy body to a healthy mind. Exercising, eating right, and eliminating stress from your life is a multi-faceted benefit to your overall well-being. I knew that before I read the book; I just needed to be told again, I guess! I'm not implementing his program at this time because I'm currently working on my exercise and diet goals which I developed for myself before I started this book. (What got me jump-started on those goals was the book, This Year I Will... by M.J. Ryan. I recommend that one to anybody looking to change their eating/exercise/whatever habits for the better.)
I also liked the mental exercises he provides in the 2-week program, and have reminded myself to do similar brain-challenging (not brain-draining) exercises to keep my brain sharp. I love word puzzles, Sudoku challenges, and other mental teasers, and will make time every other day or so for those.
Overall, a good book, just can't fit it into my existing goal plan at this time. Maybe I'll look into it in the future.
