Professor SHIMOHATA Takayoshi of the Graduate School of Medicine to Publish "The Doctors Guide to a Lifetime High-Performing Brain"
Most forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, are universally regarded by physicians and scientists as irreversible once they develop. In addition, the substances associated with the onset of dementia can begin accumulating as early as a person's forties. While several new medications have recently become available, they cannot restore lost cognitive functions and therefore cannot be considered a definitive cure. However, growing evidence suggests that dementia is no longer an entirely unavoidable disease. Over the past several years, studies from around the world have overturned many long-held assumptions about dementia.
- Sleep is a vital "cleaning time" during which the brain clears away waste products.
- Microplastics have emerged as a potential new risk factor for dementia.
- Influenza and shingles vaccines may help protect the brain.
- Lifelong learning strengthens the brain and promotes cognitive resilience.
Dementia is no longer a disease that we can only fear. With the right knowledge, it may be possible to reduce the risk and delay its onset. This book introduces practical strategies for maintaining brain health and cognitive performance.
