Brain function and memory certainly seem to alter as we age.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of trying to retrieve a memory but you just can't find it straight away? You know the memory is still there.
It is just harder to remember or rather for your brain to find where it stored it.
Sometimes we get to the memory much later.
The thing we were trying to remember pops into our head when we least expect it.
Something else seems to triggers it, almost as if the brain has been searching for a new pathway to get to that little storage area and then bingo the door opens.
These are all signs of aging memory loss and they are perfectly normal for most of us.
So the next question is what can we do about it? Can Age Related Memory Loss be Stopped or Reversed? The simple answer is YES - aging memory loss can be stopped or reversed in most people.
