You’re not alone. When a major university polled 2,678 people about their biggest health fears, Alzheimer’s disease was second only to cancer.
Memory is the faculty of the mind by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. It is the retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing future action.
The truth is its normal to have more memory slipups as you get older.
They’re not necessarily signs that you have a serious problem like Alzheimer’s. For example, if you forget where you put your keys, that’s not unusual. But if you forget what the keys are used for, that’s a red flag. If you’re concerned, always check with your doctor. A medical professional can test your memory and suggest steps to keep your brain healthy and strong.
My good mate, Max Hitchins, Author, Poet, Pilot, Pianist, Publican, Memory Wizard and Melbourne Cup Raconteur has written a book that may help.
Titled “How to Develop a Memory like an Elephant” Max says, “If you’re aged between 10 and 18 years, this book will help you with your school, college and university exams. If you’re between 18 and 50 years of age, I’m guessing you have possibly used the expression “I’m awful at remembering names” or “I’ve got a terrible memory” or something similar. That’s all about to change!
If you’re 50 years and over, doing the memory exercises in this book may help prevent (or at least slow) the onset of ‘ageing’ diseases like Dementia and Alzheimer’s. So, what have you got to lose?”
