Keep Your Brain Sharp

Here are Dr. Oz's Best Tips to Keep your Brain Sharp. These tips are from the best of Dr. Oz in the February issue of O Magazine.

5 Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

1. Eat more fresh vegetables. Vegetables start loosing nutrients as soon as they are picked. To get the most out of your veggies, eat them as soon as possible. I know right the best you can do is get them from the store.

2. Play mind games. I know that Margaret and our niece Nicole play games every week. I just work on code for web sites. I need to make it a point to go to Margaret's more often to play games with her and Nicole.

3. Sign Up for Dance Lessons. One of my friends has started Salsa Dancing and she says that is the best workout ever. A group of my girlfriends are wanting to get a group together to take line dancing lessons.

4. "Wear a helmet. Since the brain has the consistency of a hard-boiled egg, bruising it even mildly can have a significant impact on memory."

5. Drink Red over White. Drinking one glass of red wine a night can help prevent buildup of plaque. Plaque in the brain can build up between the nerves and cause communication problems.
