And the third thing that I've sort of dabbled with, not quite convinced yet, is creatine.
And we've talked about this on the show, whereas there's some evidence, there's pretty good evidence that it builds muscle, not very much, but it does build it.
And there's weak evidence that it might prevent against dementia.
So I'm looking at the evidence, but I haven't yet jumped in to say I'm going to take this regularly.
That's a great point.
Vaccines have been shown to reduce dementia.
So you say, what should we take?
Well, you should definitely take a shingles vaccine if you're offered it.
And you should also take your annual flu jab because that has been shown to reduce dementia.
Amazingly, no one really understands why, but it's a bit like fermented foods.
Your immune system is being tickled by these vaccines.
Well, I don't like to pick out one food because I don't believe in superfoods.
So I would go back to our sort of mantra, let's eat the 30 plants a week and vary it.
And I'm finding I'm now getting up to nearly 50 plants on many times.
So that will naturally incorporate things like whole grains, et cetera.
So the more diversity, the more likely you are to get all the nutrients your brain needs.
And fermented foods.
Fermented foods comes in a close second.
And I think we should all be having some fermented foods in our diet because it works in a different way on the immune system.
And they're probably the two key fundamentals we should be all doing.
