PRESS RELEASE:

A healthy brain is the key to staying vibrant and alive for a long time, and in as new PBS special, Use Your Brain to Change Your Age, bestselling author and brain expert Dr. Daniel G. Amen shares ten simple steps to boost your brain to help you live longer, look younger, and dramatically decrease your risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Use Your Brain to Change Your Age airs on KUED Tuesday March 13 at 7:00 p.m.

Over the last 20 years at Amen Clinics, Dr. Amen has performed more than 70,000 brain scans on patients from 90 different countries. His brain imaging work has taught him that our brains typically become less active with age and we become more vulnerable to memory problems and depression. Yet, one of the most exciting lessons he has learned is that with a little forethought and a brain-smart plan, you can slow, or even reverse, the aging process in the brain.

Based on the approach that has helped thousands of people at Amen Clinics along with the most cutting-edge research, Dr. Amen's breakthrough, easy-to-follow anti-aging program shows how to:

• Boost memory, mood, attention, and energy;

• Decrease the risk for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia;

• Eat to live longer;
• Reduce the outward signs of aging;

• Promote the healing of brain damage due to injury, strokes, substance abuse, and

toxic exposure;

• Dramatically increase longevity.
