I personally eat like red meat twice a week maybe.

And I eat fish about two or three times a week.

And I have chicken the other nights of the week.

So I try to have a reasonable diet.

I don't feel there's a need for me to go all the way to have a vegan diet or a keto diet.

And I know that there are advantages of each of those diets.

I think you need to enjoy life.

And food is a great source of enjoyment.

So eat the healthy food you enjoy.

And whether it's keto or vegan or Mediterranean, enjoy it.

There's no harm in those diets for the brain.

It's controversy because people have different genetic makeup.

And while a keto diet may work well for one person, it may not be ideal for another person.

So that's my approach to eating.

Don't eat junk food.

and everything else is good.

Salmon, sardines, and several other fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids, the best supplement for the brain,

you need about 1,000 to 1,200 milligram of DHA EPA per day.

And then when you eat a piece of salmon, you may get 300 milligram or 400 milligram.
