Atophy is a shrinking or drying up of tissue, and it affects every cell in the body sooner or later. Disuse Atrophy is atrophy that occurs as a result of tissue sitting dormant and that dormancy causes decreased blood flow and decreased nutrient delivery as well as decreased waste removal. "Disuse Atrophy, Your Brain, and Your Future" explains disuse atrophy and how it can and will affect all tissue types on the cellular level and shows you how to prevent it, particularly when it comes to that most amazing of cells, the neuron. This book explains how you can slow the decline of the cells in your brain and live a full and vigorous mental life, no matter your age.
