If you want to keep your brain healthy as you get older, and possibly cut your risk of Alzheimer's or dementia, try improving your diet.
Researchers at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago developed a diet that has been associated with lowering the risk of those diseases.
It includes green leafy vegetables and other vegetables, berries, nuts, whole grains, poultry, fish and more.
The researchers say you should avoid red meat, butter and stick margarine, and cheese because of its high level of saturated fat, as well as pastries and sweets, and fried or fast food.
