The You Docs

For JoyceThursday May 29, 2008 • Give Your Brain A Facelift

Give Your Brain A Facelift By Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet Oz, M.D. You don't have to download a single Miley Cyrus song or say "like" in every sentence to make your brain younger. Simply make your meals more colorful with broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, arugula, watercress, radishes, bok choy or cabbage. They're all part of the cruciferous family of vegetables. To botanists, that means they all have four-petaled flowers. To you, it means they can tickle your taste buds while adding vital health powers. Women who ate the most of these vegetables had scores on brain tests that were the same as those of women two years younger. Eat them regularly yourself and your brain could be 48 when the calendar says it's 50. Botox can't do that! Then combine these with other ways we've talked about to make your brain younger -- for instance, taking DHA (600 mg a day) and walking (30 minutes a day). They'll all contribute to keeping your brainpower potent. Not a big fan of cruciferous veggies? Boo on you! But there's another option: spinach. The big spinach eaters also had younger brains. Nutrients like lutein and folate, found abundantly in these foods, may be responsible for turning back the mental clock. Push your brainpower even higher by cooking some fish -- say, salmon, trout, or sole -- in a foil pouch with a little olive oil and some herbs, and then serving it with your veggies. The omega-3 fatty acids in these types of fish also have an anti-aging effect on your mind, possibly because they're anti-inflammatory. So eat up and keep your mental powers strong. And don't be surprised when you beat your kids at Scrabble. ======== The YOU Docs -- Mike Roizen and Mehmet Oz -- are authors of the best-selling "YOU: The Owner's Manual" and "YOU: On a Diet."
