If Dr. Rudolph Tanzi has learned anything from his many years of research, it is that nothing helps the brain more than healthy habits. "Even if you're taking supplements, nothing substitutes for lifestyle," Tanzi, the director of Genetics and Aging Research at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of child neurology at Harvard Medical School, told Business Insider. Tanzi, who is entering clinical trials for his own supplement brand CogniSHIELD, said "SHIELD" is a reference to an acronym he came up with to encourage good brain health and potentially reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and other cognitive issues down the road. See why he recommends SHIELD to everyone and one daily supplement he takes to boost his brain health at the link in our bio.
