Sleep - sleep deprivation causes hallucinations and confusion
Nutrients - An adequate diet should supply all the nutrients that your brain needs for good functioning. Some nutrient deficiencies (B vitamins) have been shown to lead to emotional problems such as depression. By the way, sugar robs the body of B vitamins as well as driving blood sugar crazy which often causes temporary mental confusion.
No more than moderate levels of stress over long periods of time - long term stress reduces the brains ability to cope with information and work through the complexities needed for good decision making.

My brain needs all it's vitamins and minerals. People dont know that you really need them. Food you eat doesnt always provide such nutrients. You need it for clearer thinking, for memory (yes there are some that help to prevent or delay Alzheimer's).
But vitamins aren't all it needs. To have a healthy brain you musy also be happy. Try to be positive at all times. This helps shape the way you think.
Hey, being smart also helps! Being able to understand things helps a lot. Learn as much as possible so that you wont be confused and so that your head wont hurt when something smart or sophisticated pops up.

with all honesty, you need to eat heathy, and exercise. studies have also shown that doing things out of the norm will help also, like trying a new way home from work, or doing things with your other hand. Also try brain teasers. Just remember what you dont use you loose. so use your brain in new ways when ever possible

A healthy diet. And just like any other part of the body, it needs to be excercised.
Fish oils are good, I hear. And crossword puzzles.
