520    Loss of memory and acuity is not a natural part of aging. 
       The  author, a neurologist, explains how everyday memory-
       loss problems, misplacing your car keys, forgetting a name,
       losing concentration in meetings are actually warning 
       signs of a distressed brain, and offers a simple plan for 
       repairing those problems and regaining and maintaining 
       mental clarity.  Whether you have become forgetful, less 
       focused, absentminded, or are trying to help a loved one 
       who has suffered a serious brain degenerative illness, the
       author offers the tools needed for building a better brain
       through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and brain workouts, 
       for coping with specific brain disorders, and for 
       understanding risk factors and tailoring a diet and 
       supplementary program.
