Certain vitamins may help to slow or prevent the onset of Alzheimer's. Take at least 300 IU of vitamin E a day. Also increase your intake of the B vitamin folate, which is found in bananas, oranges, leafy green vegetables, asparagus, broccoli, liver and many types of beans and peas.

And your workout needn't be strenuous to be effective. Even moderately paced walking can improve your mental functioning.

Feel the Love
A recent study found that lab rats that lived in groups of 12 had more thickening of the cortex (hence, fitter brains) than rats that lived alone. Also, when the rats were cuddled by researchers -- instead of just being picked up by the tail -- the rats lived significantly longer. The conclusion? Staying socially active may help your mind perform at its best. So connect with friends and family and give someone a hug!
