Even if this is just a proposed diet protocol I would expect our medical teams to at least DO SOMETHING. Not just sit on their asses once again.

The quality of what we gobble can make the difference between groping blindly under a dim bulb, and swaggering like a boss under a blindingly-bright chandelier. To learn which foods are best for boosting memory and other brain functions, train your brain to look in the mirror and understand the following firm facts about itself:
- Brains weigh only 2% of our total body weight, but consume more than 20% of our caloric intake. Half of that energy goes toward bioelectrical messages our brains send spiraling through neurons and throughout the body. So if you want a shipshape brain, EAT!
- Our brains are made up of 60% fat – and failure to maintain that percentage can contribute to Alzheimer’s and dementia. Your diet should consist of foods rich in (healthy) fats containing the essential omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, along with nonessential fatty acids.
- The brain needs constant and heavy blood flow in order to receive oxygen and keep up with the heavy metabolic demands of the neurons. Approximately 20% of the blood flowing from the heart is pumped to the brain. Foods that promote blood vessel dilation are ideal.
