Sharpen Your Memory and Prevent Alzheimer’s Naturally

1. Take 900 milligrams of DHA omega-3s a day. Why so much emphasis on these good fats? Your brain is 60% fat — and half of that is DHA, which keeps your brain cells flexible, fluid, and communicating well. DHA also fights memory loss. Your body can’t make DHA, so you have to get it from food and supplements. We get our DHA from algae-based capsules — not fish oil — to limit concerns about toxins in fish.

2. Eat plenty of foods rich in DHA. Opt for fresh or canned salmon, canned tuna, trout, sardines, walnuts, avocados, canola oil, and flax seeds. Along with olive oil, these memory protectors are the only fats you should even think about eating.

3. Eat oodles of fruits and vegetables. Their nutrients are vital brain food.

Other things that they mention include Vitamin D3 (1000 units under 60 and 1200 if you are 60 and older) and Tumeric (found in yellow mustard, it helps clear cellular waste).
