If you want to save your brain, focus on keeping the rest of your body well rather than popping vitamin pills, the World Health Organization advises.
Its new guidelines for preventing dementia say the condition “is not a natural or inevitable consequence of aging.” Indeed, research suggests a third of cases are preventable. One key prevention strategy is eating well, and possibly following a Mediterranean-style diet, the guidelines say. But skip vitamin B or E pills, fish oil or multi-complex supplements that are promoted for brain health because there's strong research showing they don't work.

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

In the market for a new mattress? This is the best month to go shopping. According to Consumer Reports, the mattress industry rolls out new products in June, so most stores clear their inventory of older models in May by offering deep discounts.
Remember, one-third of your life will be spent sleeping. Take your time picking the best option for your sleeping style. Lie down on any mattress you’re considering for least 5 or 10 minutes on each side and on your back, Consumer Reports recommends. If you can't try out a mattress before buying, carefully check out the manufacturer's return policy.
