Seven Dos and Don'ts for a Healthy Brain

These seven steps can keep your brain healthy and your memory sharp:

DO eat according to the Pan Asian Modified Mediterranean (PAMM) diet. It's loaded with antioxidant-rich fruits and healthy fats that promote brain health.
DON'T eat trans fatty acids and saturated fats, which contribute to heart disease and Alzheimer's.
DON'T drink excessive alcohol, which causes premature aging of the brain.
DO place a filter on your kitchen tap that removes heavy metals and chlorine from your drinking water.
DO avoid products that contain aluminum, such as deodorants, antacids, and baking powder (aluminum can cause early aging!). Do not drink out of aluminum cans.
DO make sure you exercise your mind with crossword puzzles, reading, and other activities that will increase your mental sharpness.
DO keep homocysteine levels under 9.
