Well, to decrease Alzheimer's, I read you need to decrease your intake of aluminum.

Aluminum + Brain = Bad(Alzheimers)

I want to write a grant someday for Dr. Kawashima to do a controlled experiment on one of my classes - does playing Brain Age everyday improve the academic performance of elementary school students as compared to students who don't play?
