* Twice a week: Fatty fish - Wild salmon, albacore tuna and mackerel are great sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, which experts believe make brain cells more efficient. At 2006 a study found that people who ate most fish and had highest levels of the Omega-3 fatty acid DHA in their blood cut risk of dementia by 47%.
* Daily: Colorful fruits and veggies - Eat from each of the five color groups ( red, orange/yellow,white,blue/purple and green ) for a a broad spectrum of brain-protective antioxidants. Leafy greens and cruciferous veggies, like broccoli and cauliflower are particularly potent. A study found that women who ate the most of these lowered their brain age by 1 to 2 years. Some research shows that flavonoids antioxidants in apples, grapes, onions, wine, tea and dark chocolate are also brain boosters.
* Frequently: Avocados, olive oil, nuts and sunflower seeds. These are high in antioxidant vitamin E, which is especially effective at staving off Alzheimer's disease. People who ate moderate amounts daily lowered their risk by 67%. Shoot for 15 mg. equal to 2 ounces of almonds.
