Book Review: Supercharge Your Brain: How to Maintain a Healthy Brain Throughout Your Life

​A new book, Supercharge Your Brain: How to Maintain a Healthy Brain Throughout Your Life, by James Goodwin, presents cutting-edge science for a healthier life that is beneficial no matte your age.  For example, if you want to care for your brain, chew gum. Numerous studies show the benefits of oral health which is supported by gum chewing. ​​

Chewing gum increases saliva flow, keeping the mouth more acid and reducing bad bacteria. In addition, the act of chewing stimulates areas of the brain that enhance thinking and memory. Who knew? For years, we did not allow gum chewing in school! Now we may want to pass it out, especially in challenging classes. This scientific information is just one of the many suggestions Goodwin offers to enhance our cognitive abilities, no matter what our age. ​
