I can't remember the last time I forgot.

I am on the way to having lived 3 score and 10 years as explained in the Bible So of course any of us that have been blessed to be on this earth for a reasonable amount of time have many experiences stored in our personal computer We call it a brain So at 20 our brain has some stored info but also lots of room for more At 50 it may be more balance And so it goes At 70 we have had years of life events And it is only expected that we may not always have instant recall .However I do mostly OK with memory issues But I do not feel as sharp or as quick as it once was On the other hand I sometimes feel as I have aged my larger problem is I can not forget the things I would be better of if I would just forget and leave in the past .And just a quick mention for anyone that is dealing with memory loss problems .Speak to your doctor There are prescription medication that can be a help if needed For example there are Transdermal patches for people to wear on the body that are able to help improve memory issues .

With so much fake memory stuff out there it’s tough to not get deep into the gimmick market out there today. Fish oil, baby aspirin and a multivitamin are the only extra stuff I take daily along with a couple meds. What my wife takes in meds and supplements would be a small meal for me but she’s into the junk foods.

Diet and exercise go a long way with the brain functioning well. I find the more active I am the better my brain functions but some of that could be the diabetic issues I’m just lucky I’d rather be moving then sitting around doing nothing. A guy needs a balance he can’t overdo supplements to take the place of exercise both work together n moderation.

I think of the Eskimo people that eat a lot of oils that have strokes over heart attacks because of that. To much of anything might not be that good for a person.

Looks like buying over the counter memory crap is a waste of cash. I'm keeping an open mind if someone has had actual good results with any product or perscription. Looks like a lot os us are heading to ride the short bus. if we could only remember where the bus stop is.

I just went through immunotherapy treatment for cancer. One of the main possible side effects is neurological issues. They had me print the same sentence every day for a week afterwards and asked simple questions like what year it was, where I was, count backwards by tens, etc. I was always ten out of ten.
Sometimes I wish my brain would shut up as it is always " on". And sometimes won't let me sleep. I think my trapping has a lot to do with my good recovery. Walking through swamps every day for a month is great exercise.
Eat good food, not much junk, move a lot, read a lot, do something precise with your hands often. That's my advice.

My favorite saying is "I don't remember having a memory problem"

Excellent post Tatiana. Hopefully you planted some seed that will sprout.

I'm with Tatiana on this one. I try to do things that require multitasking. I have played stringed instruments for many decades and I think that engaging in an activity that requires each hand to do something different simultaneously is probably beneficial. I also try to maintain my math skills on a daily basis.

It may sound nuts but I enjoy doing dishes. It allows my hands to do one job while it lets my brain drift off to work on more consequential things. I find it relaxing.

I do that when I’m driving. LOL

I went food shopping and forgot a few things I need.

There are certain things that the brain can use to improve memory after we tax bodies. Check out the two links below and see which one you think will better suit your situation.

I don't forget. My brain is so full of knowledge there simply isn't room for any more.

Sure that was my first thought.

This is kind of on topic, but did anyone see last night (on CBS) the neurosurgeon that has been perfecting ultra sound brain penetration to remove plaque associated with alzheimers? Pretty dang amazing the brain scans before and after.

I forgot I made this post! Any new info?

I did not see that.

I see a lawsuit coming from brain surgeons! Maybe the local lawyers can cash in.

Yeah it was on Full Measure or 20-20..can't recall.

Don't know why i read this post
