Exercise and Diet Slow Memory Loss

An active lifestyle and a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids may help tackle memory loss, according to two leading neuroscientists speaking at the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

Specifically, those who remained physically fit, avoided high stress levels and enjoyed a rich and vaired social life are better equipped to stay alert as they age. Mental stimulation, learning new things and simply thinking young also helps, according to Professor's Ian Robertson and Maria Lynch of Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.
