Posted on: Wednesday, 21 March 2007, 12:00 CDT

NEW YORK, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Valentin Bragin, M.D., Ph.D., provides an innovative strategy for people suffering from cognitive decline to better utilize the brain's own reserves and resources in his new book, "How to Activate Your Brain: A Practical Guide Book 1" (now available through AuthorHouse).

Bragin offers readers effective techniques for maintaining and improving memory, concentration and attention, especially for those suffering from chronic illnesses, depression and dementia. "This program is practical and easy to implement right now," he says. "Along the way, the reader will learn how the brain and body work together and find new ways to make the body more healthy and energetic."

"How to Activate Your Brain" presents Bragin's integrative method in a series of sequential steps that each increase brain function. Part I consists of techniques to reduce and manage stress. Part II illustrates original, light physical exercises that are the core of the program and help with coordination, attention and concentration. Part III provides exercises to help strengthen memory. Part IV gives readers valuable information about various brain functions related to food, music and light.

This book is a valuable resource for health professionals and can be easily utilized by elderly and medically ill people living at home, adult retirement communities, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. "[I] have personally witnessed the great strides made by patients who have used these new brain activation techniques," says Bragin. "People experienced a remarkable improvement in their brain speed [reaction time], coordination, attention, concentration and memory. They also regained their self-confidence and optimism."

Bragin is a psychiatrist and the founder and medical director of the Stress Relief and Memory Training Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., where more than 2,000 patients have been treated within its first 12 years of operation. He earned his medical degree and Ph.D. from the Russian Medical-Military Academy, one of the oldest and most prestigious medical schools in the Soviet Union. He also holds an engineering degree in medical informatics. Bragin's areas of interest include stress and stress-related disorders, aging and rehabilitation of brain functions. He has dedicated much of his medical career to researching the impact of stress on illness and overall health. Bragin is the author of several publications.
