There is some great advice in the Huffington Post regarding 6 well-validated approaches to maintaining a healthy brain.  Each of these has been covered to some extent in past posts here, but this is a nice presentation of the evidence in one article.

While I would recommend that you click through and read the full article, the 6 tips are listed here as an overview:

1. Manage chronic conditions under your control
2. Incorporate Mediterranian diet
3. Stay physically active
4. Avoid Tobacco Smoke
5. Stay intellectually and socially active
6. Watch for signs of Depression

Each of these is well within your control and proven to reduce your risks for cognitive decline.
