46、h high blood pressure are more likely to develop cognitive impairment later in life. Eat more vitamins. Like E(in nuts and sunflower seeds), B6 and B12(beef, tuna), and folic acid(leafy greens, citrus, berries), which help keep your brains chemistry in balance. Exercise your brain. This is the best
47、way to rebuild and strengthen those precious neurons. Learn to play chess or the guitar. When youre at a stoplight, try to recall the starting lineup of the 1983 Celtics. See a movie that doesnt feature Ben Stiller. Or read, like, a book.
