Deep-Sea Protection for Your Mental Muscle
By Kelley Herring
We've long lauded the benefits of omega-3-rich fish to protect the heart and reduce inflammation. And new research shows it might help maintain memory, too.
A study published in the journal Archives of Neurology followed 815 healthy people for nearly four years. In that time, 131 of them developed Alzheimer's disease. The researchers found that those who consumed fish once or more per week had 60 percent less risk of Alzheimer's compared with those who never ate fish.
As the researchers looked further, they found that total omega-3 fatty acid concentration and the concentration of one omega-3 fat in particular, DHA, were responsible for the protection from Alzheimer's.
To get the benefits, include wild salmon in your diet a few times each week. You can also boost your DHA by taking a good fish oil supplement like Carlson's.

It's Fun to Know: How to Track Santa's Journey
The same technology used to track nuclear missiles can help your child follow Santa's journey around the world. For the past 50 years, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has tracked Santa by radar, starting when he leaves the North Pole. NORAD provides updates in real time on its website and by phone. They also give Santa a fighter jet escort.
The program started in 1958 and went online in 1998. Visit noradsanta.org before the big night to make sure you catch a glimpse of Santa Claus this year.

Word to the Wise: Dotage
"Dotage" (DOH-tij) is a deterioration of mental faculties, especially in old age. The word is from the verb "to dote" (to be foolishly or excessively affectionate - something that often happens in senility).
Example (as used by Rex Reed in a New York Times review of Dark Victory by Ed Sikov): "The last time I saw Bette Davis, she was in her dotage, the painful ravages of cancer and a paralyzing stroke cruelly evident."
