Decision making and memory decline with age, so we think! Researchers at UT Dallas have created a program called SMART (Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training). It helps block out unimportant information to concentrate on the big picture. People will learn to analyze issues from different aspects. It is a 12 week course that helps to preserve complex decision making, intellect and psychological well-being. There are other ways to aid thinking capabilities. First try brain games, next brain-boosting supplements like Krill Oil and Medium Triglyceride Oil, and the third: caffeine.

Key Takeaways:

  • It’s pretty much accepted that brain health and all that goes with it — memory, intelligence, and complex decision-making — declines with age
  • Researchers at the Center for BrainHealth at UT Dallas found that a cognitive training program used for one hour a week, alongside two hours of homework, reversed cognitive decline in older adults
  • The program, called Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training (or SMART for short), teaches people how to block irrelevant information so they can focus on the bigger picture

“Krill Oil (EPA & DHA): These two omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for proper brain function and development. They improve memory and thought processes.”
