You once remembered everything. Now, you are beginning to notice a change. Is this early memory loss?
Are you concerned with memory loss and misplacing eyeglasses or keys more often than usual, forgetting names of people you've known for awhile, having difficulty finding the right words sometimes to complete your sentences? Have you forgotten an important appointment or felt loss in a place that is normally familiar to you? Forgetfulness is typical of normal aging and usually more of a bother than a problem. As a result of aging, nearly everyone requires more time to process information. One of the causes of memory loss is that communication between brain cells simply begins to slow. If you notice that you recall the word you were looking for or the name of your friend a few minutes later, there may not be a problem. If you are concerned that forgetfulness is becoming more of a problem, you should speak to your doctor.
During the aging process, we want to promote and protect of our brain cells. Addressing underlying problems that can damage brain cells such as elevated homocysteine and oxidative stress can help maintain the memory that you have. Cerefolin®NAC can help. There are many things you can do. Practicing techniques to boost memory, doing brain teaser exercises, and eating well can help.
