No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to start eating in a way that gives you the best possible chance of staving off dementia as you age and making sure that you feel focused and sharp every day.

As a nutritional psychiatrist, faculty member at Harvard Medical School and author of “This Is Your Brain on Food,” I study how our gut bacteria can trigger metabolic processes and brain inflammation that impact memory. Existing studies point to the idea that we may be able to reduce the possibility of dementia by avoiding foods that can compromise our gut bacteria and weaken our memory and focus.

Here are the foods I try to avoid or cut back on to fight inflammation and promote brain health, sharp thinking and good decision-making:

1. Added sugars

 

2. Fried foods

 

3. High-glycemic-load carbohydrates

 

4. Alcohol

 

5. Nitrates

Those five have always been things to avoid on a healthy diet. They are all listed on the avoid cancer diet and heart healthy diet. It’s a lot of work to avoid all those and not lose weight.

I minimize but don't avoid.  

I enjoy a nice scotch at the end of the day so I won't be giving that up.

Mine too...... Says the guy that just decided to throw down a couple of Pop Tarts from the machine because there was no time for something healthier.
