Age-Proofing Our Brains for Better Living with Marc Milstein PhD

Podcast episode about aging and better living with Marc Milstein, PhD and positive psychology expert Lisa Cypers Kamen

The inability to focus on the task at hand plagues all of us, sometimes. But there are times when distractions such as our phones, long to-do lists, and multiple people wanting our attention can be more mentally taxing than others. So, what can we do to build our mental resilience, improve memory, reduce stress, and live longer happier lives? To help clear out the cognition clutter, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks to doctor and author Marc Milstein about a blueprint we can use to age-proof our brains for better living. Dr. Milstein shares excerpts from his book, The Age-Proof Brain: New Strategies to Improve Memory, Improve Immunity, and Fight Off Dementia, and cites examples of how a healthy diet, sufficient sleep, and physical movement can boost our immune system and stave off dementia.
