The U. S. Pointer Brain Health Recipe 

Physical Exercise: 30-35 minutes of moderate to intense aerobic activity four times a week, plus strength and flexibility exercises twice a week. 

Health Monitoring: Regular check-ins on blood pressure, weight, and lab results. 

Nutrition: Adherence to the MIND diet, which emphasizes dark leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, olive oil and fish, and limits sugar and unhealthy fats. 

Cognitive Exercise: Computer-based brain training program three times a week for 30 minutes plus regular engagement in other intellectually challenging and social activities. 

The US POINTER study showed that a program combining exercise, nutrition, cognitive engagement and health monitoring can meaningfully protect brain health.
