Welcome to Grey Matters, your on-line Brain Gym membership magazine whose theme is not about growing older but how not to grow old! And whose purpose is to offer practical, easy to follow, strategies for enjoying peak physical and mental fitness throughout your life.
Since my research and clinical experience, over the past twenty years, has convinced me that the only way to help preserve mind and body effectively is by adopting a broad and holistic approach to combat ageing this view will determine the information provided in Grey Matters.
The answer is almost everybody concerned to enjoy maximum well-being for the longest possible period of time.
If you are forty-five or older and have, perhaps, allowed yourself to get into a less than ideal mental and physical condition in recent years please do not despair.
The good news is that it is never too late to bring about those health-promoting changes that will strengthen your body's own inbuilt powers of regeneration.
If you are still in good shape or in a younger age group then now is an ideal time to start working your mental muscles out in the Brain Gym while following the more bodily orientated advice and guidance that I will provide through the pages of Grey Matters. They will enable you to lay down firm foundations on which to build a healthy, happy and fulfilling longevity.
Some of what you will read in Grey Matters may strike you as little more than commonsense. Unfortunately, however, when it comes to taking care of our health such commonsense is often in very short supply!
What the procedures you will learn from this magazine - and the mental skills you will acquire as you work your way through the stimulating mental challenges posed by the Brain Gym exercises - may lack in drama they make up for in efficacy.
They are easy to implement and to follow.
They make minimum demands on your time.
And, most important of all, they work!
Welcome to your brighter and healthier tomorrow.
