I've been reading a lot about this as diet is one of the things we have control over as we hope to recover and gain back some of our former brain health.

From what I've gathered, a ketogenic diet (low carb/low sugar/high fat) is in fact the healthiest diet for the human brain. It is very difficult to maintain but a somewhat realistic regimen I've come across is

Less than 75 carbs/day
Less than 20 per meal

Essentially this puts the body in ketosis where it begins using fat as its energy source instead of carbohydrates. There is no downside to this, from what I've read. In fact it is healthier.

Cold pressed organic coconut oil has a lot of MCT's and helps maintain this equilibrium.

Sugar is not good for you and fat is, despite what Americans have been told for decades. Eliminate as much sugar from the diet as you can!! Of course everyone is different so take this advice for what it's worth. There is always the obstacle of personal variability in body type, metabolism, etc.

Take a look at the vitamin regimen as Mark referenced and if you have any further questions, perhaps regarding other supplements to take you can message me. I've had some recent success with a few.

And remember to hydrate! 6-8 glasses of water per day. I take this as being about 6 bottled waters. Keep chugging away.
