Home Care Assistance Publishes Seventh Book in Award-Winning Healthy Longevity Series

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) September 22, 2014

Home Care Assistance, North Americas leading provider of in-home care, is proud to announce the release of its newest book, The Brain Boost: A Practical Guide to Brain Health. A major misconception regarding the human adult brain is that it is unable to changethat aging results in a gradual, unavoidable and irreversible decline in cognitive abilities. Contemporary research, however, has shown that the brain actually possesses a remarkable ability to adapt based on experience and environmental influencesa process known as neuroplasticity.

This book is an empirically-grounded response to the misconception that cognitive decline is an inevitable part of aging, said Lily Sarafan, President of Home Care Assistance. Such ideas promote a negative view of the aging process. With a mission to change the way the world ages, we embrace aging as a meaningful stage of life and seek to spread this more positive view. We are proud to provide an accessible guide on the ways that all of us can harness the power of neuroplasticity to promote greater mental acuity and enhanced quality of life.

The Brain Boost is grounded in cutting-edge research from the fields of cognitive science, neuropsychology and medicine to show that all of us have the potential to boost brain performance through various lifestyle behaviors. Filled with fascinating studies from explorations of the hippocampi of London taxi drivers to the role of the emotional tone of music in enhancing cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients, The Brain Boost is a highly engaging window into the world of neuroplasticity. Early response to the book has been overwhelmingly positive; the book has been praised for distilling scientific research into practical every day tips to boost brain health. This book is an essential addition to the bookshelves of adults of any age interested in healthy longevity and cognitive health.

This book is the latest in Home Care Assistances award-winning Healthy Longevity Book Series, designed to address the challenges facing our aging population and what we can do to ensure healthy and happy aging at home. Topics covered in the previous books include scientifically-based lifestyle choices to promote healthy longevity, best practices for providing quality care for an aging loved one in the home, hospital discharge and post-hospitalization care at home, understanding how the five senses evolve as we age, best practices in dementia care and well-researched tools to identify and remedy potential sleep disturbances.
