Yes, healthy nutritional habits, exercise (very important!) and stress management are all key to maintaining memory as is using your brain. For those over 40, supplementing with pregnenolone can also be important for optimal memory. I usually suggest 100 mg daily.

bananas before bed?

Lisa Rendina's picture

I thought that bananas were too high in calories and fat to eat before bed.

Very good to know... wait... what were we talking about?
