I missed this book when it came out in 2021, just finding out about it now for the first time! I am not affiliated at all with the book or any of the websites - I came across it while googling for new books to read!
The book's summary ad line from the Penguin website (noted below), states that it's: "The definitive guide to keeping your brain healthy for a long and lucid life, by one of the world's leading scientists in the field of brain health and ageing."
The author is the Director of Science and Research Impact at the Brain Health Network, which is an interesting site in itself:

Re: Book: "Supercharge Your Brain - How to Maintain a Healthy Brain Throughout Your Life"
I am currently reading it. Mid-way through, highly recommend the book as a great tool to prepare and mitigate the aging onslaught to our brains. I will summarise a couple of key points for you all when I am finished.
Re: Book: "Supercharge Your Brain - How to Maintain a Healthy Brain Throughout Your Life"
Interesting title but I wonder if he's up on all the latest anti-Aging supplements that help the nuerons like NAD+? If it's just a recap of what we already know like exercise, good diet, and playing music then I would respectfully pass on it.
Re: Book: "Supercharge Your Brain - How to Maintain a Healthy Brain Throughout Your Life"
Nope, not a mention of latest anti-Aging supplements in the book. Your right a lot of known stuff, but does cover off some interesting areas I had not really considered before. I am still gaining some good insights on the subject, basically the book covers things like:
-Exercise
-Diet plus lightly covers some known supplements like vitamin K, E, B6, etc.
-The gut brain connection - this part was very interesting...our second brain has 500 million neurons down there!
-Social i.e. "no one is an island"...I skipped this section
-Sex.. good to find out that more frequent sex is better for your brain, just finishing up this section...studying carefully
-Brain training looks interesting
-Sleep - yeah I just say Matthew Walker.
-The feel good factor - this one feels obvious..

The gut-brain connection. I keep bumping in to this topic. And i keep forgetting to act on it. The one thing I want to do is get my gut biome in top shape.Boxcost wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 5:15 amNope, not a mention of latest anti-Aging supplements in the book.

I do know the #1 thing to do is eat oatmeal to increase the presence of betaglucan, which helps make the right environment for the right bacteria. And the next best thing is the right kind of Probiotics. But if you make the right environment, the right bacteria will flourish.
Basically I am going to have a smallbit of oatmeal before bed 6 days a week, with no milk or sugar.
