Other steps to take to boost brain health

Here are some other steps you might want to take to help protect your brain health:

  • Increase your exercise intensity and duration;
  • Maintain adequate vitamin D levels (from sun or supplements);
  • Take Omega-3 supplements;
  • Avoid aluminum products (usually found in antiperspirants and cookware);
  • Avoid mercury and remove old amalgam fillings from your teeth;
  • Challenge your brain often (by doing puzzles or learning a new instrument, etc); and
  • Avoid taking anticholinergic drugs found in some allergy, mood, or sleep aid medications.

Additionally, research shows that eating a healthy diet (like a Mediterranean diet) that is low in sugar/processed foods and rich in healthy oils is good for both preventing and dealing with early Alzheimer’s.
