Brain health: Summary of Recommendations

Our best ideas about what to do to promote your brain health

Here, you will find practical suggestions for improving and optimizing your brain health, drawn from, supported by, information presented in other parts of this website section.

Please understand that these are general recommendations, drawn from the best knowledge we can find, and not addressed to any particular person. Please read the website disclaimer before applying any of these recommendations to you or anyone you know.

Procedural recommendations

The focus here is how to go about deciding what to do. They are about decision making.

• Do a risk assessment. (Specifics about how to do this are under development.)
• Set priorities. Give priority to prevention of problems most likely to impact you, and to those most likely to have grave impacts. Prevention is virtually always better than correction or repair.
• Develop a specific action plan. Consider making it incremental, so that you start making changes gradually.
• Formally assess the consequences of the actions you take. If you're going to invest your resources, be sure that you get a return that's acceptable.
• (more recommendations are coming...)
