- no new applicable info for memorizing things. we all know what an acronym is. the food section was the only slightly redeeming part. - poor editing and carelessness ( there are two paragraphs on dark chocolate on back to back pages. How do you not realize this before publishing a book?) - poor writing and typos “Eat ½ to 1 ounce a day should do the trick.” (Again, even Microsoft word would’ve caught this?) - random unexplained nonsense ““Recently acquired memories are played to the soul”
- makes no sense: “Instead of memorizing, you can just try out other methods to understand and learn. You can try out repeated use – you repeat the information over and over until you can remember it by heart.” That’s called memorization.
- no citations?! Saying “Research shows” is a pet peeve of mine, it’s like saying “science says”
+ at least it didn’t drag on
Reading on this would’ve been interesting and new, but alas it was vague and uncited:
“Research shows that exercising, even 30 minutes to an hour every day can help improve the brain’s function. It is also believed that regular exercise can tremendously decrease the chances of developing diseases that can cause you to lose your memory. An expert from Georgetown University Medical Center said that daily physical activity is best to preserve the brain’s function and memory even with aging.”
