If you want to save your brain, focus on keeping the rest of your body well rather than popping vitamin pills, the World Health Organization advises.
Its new guidelines for preventing dementia say the condition "is not a natural or inevitable consequence of aging." Indeed, research suggests a third of cases are preventable. One key prevention strategy is eating well, and possibly following a Mediterranean-style diet, the guidelines say. But skip vitamin B or E pills, fish oil or multi-complex supplements that are promoted for brain health because there's strong research showing they don't work.
