Synopsis:

Memory loss hits most people beyond 50s. As we forget names of acquaintances, and especially if we have a parent with Alzheimer’s, we begin to wonder if we will soon become oblivious of our past and turn into a prisoner in our own mind. With a great deal of coverage about Alzheimer’s in the media, now more than 84% of Americans are concerned they or one of their family members may fall victim to this vicious disease. However, most recent science suggests that our brain’s ability to remain sharp and precise has a lot to do with our physical fitness and our overall health than with the genes we carry in our DNA. As compared to otherwise fit baby boomers, middle age people with diabetes, obesity, sedenatary lifestyle, and hypertension are 16 fold more likely to lose their cognitive abilities in their 70s and 80s. Having an elderly parent with dementia increases the risk only two fold. 16 fold vs two fold! Interestingly, walking one mile a day or spending 45 minutes on a treadmill literally increases the size of the brain and significantly dwarfs the possibility of developing Alzheimer’s later in life. In this lecture, you will learn the other steps you can take to make your brain bigger and make your mind sharper. You will forget about Alzheimer’s and start your journey toward a stronger and younger brain.

About the Speaker:

Dr Majid Fotuhi is a leading figure in the field of Alzheimer’s disease and how best it can be prevented. He heads the Center for Memory and Brain Health at The Sandra and Malcolm Berman Brain & Spine Institute and serves as an assistant professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He has also been a popular instructor at Harvard Medical School, where he received his medical degree (cum laude) in 1997. He was the recipient of the American Academy of Neurology Teaching Award in 2001.
Dr. Fotuhi has outlined the best strategies for invigorating the brain and keeping it sharp in his two books for the general public: “The Memory Cure: How to Protect Your Brain Against Memory Loss and Alzheimer’s Disease” and “The New York Times Puzzles to Keep Your Brain Young: The 6-Step Age-Defying Program.” Dr. Fotuhi’s PBS program, “Fight Alzheimer’s Early,” continues to air nationally every year.
Dr. Fotuhi has been featured in ABC News, Discovery Channel, Dr. Oz show, and “The Montel Show,” as well as The Boston Globe, BusinessWeek, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Times of London. In 2007, Dr. Fotuhi was selected by the Baltimore magazine as one of the Most Intriguing Baltimoreans of the year.
