# Cognitive performance in many older adults appears to be improving
over historical time.
# Although based on plausible biochemical reasoning, to date, clinical
research has produced no evidence that dietary supplements such as
Gingko biloba enhance cognitive performance or reduce the rate of
cognitive loss.
# Software-based cognitive training and brain games.
# Consumers should look for products that can substantiate their
claims with evidence from research.
# Be leery of anyone who claims to cure or prevent Alzheimer’s disease
or other forms of dementia or pre-dementia. Any such products would
need FDA approval to properly make such claims, and no currently
available products have obtained approval.
# Understand that there is a difference between short-term
improvements and changes in long-term trajectories.
# Learning stimulates the brain and contributes to one’s general sense
of competence. However, there is no evidence that any particular
formal training or practice regime is required.
# Physical exercise is not only a low-cost and effective way to
improve your health but also an important key to improving brain
fitness.
