Do Your Brain Good

We all know 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week does the body good. Add these steps to your 30-minute routine, and Michael F. Roizen, MD, says you'll keep your brain young.

Eat Indian.
Each week, eat six curry dishes or six teaspoons of dark mustard, or a combination of the two, and you may lower your Alzheimer's risk.

Teach.
You're more likely to retain information if you explain it to someone else.

Go Tomatoes.
Take in 10 tablespoons of tomato sauce (with olive oil and no added sugar). Do this every week and your brain will thank you.

Laugh.
Laughter really is good medicine. It's good enough to improve memory, in fact.

Drink Coffee.
More help on the Alzheimer's front. No cream or sugar allowed.

Go Fish.
Make it fish with low toxins, three to four times per week, or take molecularly distilled fish oil each day.
