New Scientist has an excellent article on brain building and memory maintainence via quite obvious healthy lifestyle.
1. Smart drugs : Does getting old have to mean worsening memory, slower reactions and fuzzy thinking?
2. Food for thought : You are what you eat, and that includes your brain. So what is the ultimate mastermind diet?
3. The Mozart effect : Music may tune up your thinking, but you can't just crank up the volume and expect to become a genius.
4. Bionic brains : If training and tricks seem too much like hard work, some technological short cuts can boost brain function.
5. Gainful employment : Put your mind to work in the right way and it could repay you with an impressive bonus.
6. Memory marvels : Mind like a sieve? Don't worry. The difference between mere mortals and memory champs is more method than mental capacity.
7. Sleep on it : Never underestimate the power of a good night's rest.
8. Body and mind : Physical exercise can boost brain as well as brawn.
9. Nuns on a run : If you don't want senility to interfere with your old age, perhaps you should seek some sisterly guidance.
10. Attention seeking : You can be smart, well-read, creative and knowledgeable, but none of it is any use if your mind isn't on the job.
11. Positive feedback : Thought control is easier than you might imagine.
