Diet and Exercise
A good Mediterranean-type diet protects the brain from ageing and can even reverse aspects of ageing in the elderly.
A Mediterranean diet includes olive oil in the diet, red wine, and very little red meat.
- Red wine has polyphenols that directly activate SIRT1.
- Olive oil has oleic acid, which is also found in avocados and can also directly activate the enzyme.
- Low levels of protein and a plant-based diet.

Aerobic exercise and walking improve cognition, particularly as we age.
