Is there a food fix for brain blips?

Q:

I’m constantly forgetting little things, like where I parked my car or where I left my glasses. Is there a natural way to boost brainpower? A:

You’re not alone! The forgetfulness you describe happens to more than 40% of us as early as our 40s. To help keep your short-term memory sharp, infuse olive oil with a sprig of rosemary and drizzle the blend on salads, side dishes, even popcorn. British researchers found that rosemary compounds boost blood flow to the brain to improve performance on memory tests by 15%; plus, olive oil is proven to decrease the brain deposits associated with Alzheimer’s by 60%.

Also smart: Supplement with sublingual B-12, a highly absorbable form of the vitamin. Scientists with the American Academy of Neurology found that absorbing optimal levels of B-12 slashes the risk of brain shrinkage by 600%, so your memory stays as sharp as that of folks decades younger.
