I just watched a short PBS program that was somewhat interesting called Change your Brain Change your LIfe. Change Your Brain Change Your Life The author of this book is Dr. David Amen who is a child and adult psychiatrist.

The recommendation presented in this brief program where:

* Exercise: In particular moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise and activities that require balance and coordination. These are thought to require focus and concentration increasing the activity of the PFC. There is a lot of evidence to support the use of aerobic exercise to improve mood and overall brain function.

* High protein, Low Carb. Diet: I'm not sure about this one. Seems like supporting evidence is limited. Does any one else know of credible evidence to support this recommendation?

* Take Omega-3 fish oil supplements. I found this recommendation interesting. My H's cardiologist recommended he take this supplement following his heart surgery. I know it was thought to be effective in lower triglycerides and help prevent atherosclerosis. According to the Mayo clinic there is "C" level evidence supporting the use of this supplement in treating ADHD problems. Omega-3 FA Info from the Mayo Clinic

* Stimulate the brain by learning NEW skills. [i] I did not look for evidence on this one mainly because it simply made sense. It seems consistent with the "use it or lose it" concept.
