Memory Loss

Memory loss is not a menopause symptom, it just comes with aging, as a normal part of life. We often say that we can't concentrate, that we are fine one day and confused the next day or that we can't remember things.

How many times did you loose track of conversation when talking? You start to forget words: they're on the tip of your tongue, but instead of eventually dislodging, they stay there. You go upstairs to fetch something, and by the time you get there you can't remember what it was you were after.

As we age, the ability to absorb, store and retrieve information is slowing down. The typical complaints of memory loss are difficulty in thinking, focusing, concentrating and learning.

The main cause of memory loss is the deficient communication between brain cells, as a result of decrease of blood flow to the brain. Nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, drug side effects, hypoglycemia, excess stress are other causes of memory loss or normal forgetfulness.

Today's modern technology exposes us to thousands of pieces of information everyday. Remembering everything is becoming an impossible task. We definitely need to develop new skills to train our memory to be selective and to strengthen our normal ability to learn and memorize.

Scientists developed different brain training methods to keep our mind fit and to fight cognitive decline. Just as physical exercise keeps your body stronger, mental exercise can make your brain work better. Brain training and new learning can occur at any age.

The understanding that the brain is dynamically changeable throughout life has revolutionized the way scientists view cognition. We no longer believe that children are stuck with the brain they were born with or that aging is an inevitable cause of memory loss. We understand that, while everyone is different and genetics do matter, there is a tremendous amount we can do to improve the way our brains function, to become more efficient and effective in processing information, paying attention, remembering, thinking creatively, and solving novel problems.
