How can we maintain our independence, autonomy, and abilities as we age? In his book “The Aging Brain: Proven Steps to Prevent Dementia and Sharpen Your Mind,” psychiatrist and certified master psychopharmacologist Dr. Timothy R. Jennings writes about the health of our brains and recommends specific actions to protect them from deterioration in order to slow the aging process.
Writing “The Aging Brain” was personal for Jennings; he had watched his wife’s mother slowly being ravaged by Alzheimer’s disease. Yet the book is not a reflection but a reference, and one that has great scope. Since Jennings believes that life operates on laws of health and that the primary purpose of every organ system of the body is to serve the brain, he offers a comprehensive approach.
