Lubricate Your Brain

In a study, those who ate at least 5 tablespoons of olive oil a day tested best on memory and problem solving skills. It is the monounsaturated fat that enhances your brainpower, but olive oil also has vitamin E and other antioxidants. Next time, you are in the kitchen, use olive oil instead of corn or soybean oils.

Confused - Not Always Alzheimer!

Just because you are confused or show other signs of dementia doesn't mean you have Alzheimer's disease. It might mean you simply need to drink more water. Dehydration causes confusion, disorientation, and other problems. So, drink water even if you are not thirsty.

Improve Memory

The popular Chinese herb ginkgo has been used for centuries to improve circulation and sharpen thinking. Now some scientists think it can boost memory for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's. That's because ginkgo promotes circulation throughout the body, which helps the brain work better. Even in healthy people, ginkgo can improve short-term memory.
