As we age, it may be easy to assume that our memory will be affected and there is nothing we can do about it. This may be true for some cases but in reality, our memory and cognitive sharpness is just like any other muscle in our bodies.

The attention we pay to "exercising" our minds is just as important as staying in good physical health. The same habits that we use to stay physically independent can also be applied to our cognitive functioning including our memory.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Some of the things that cause us to think that we are losing our memory and cognitive thought as we get older.

2). Why in most cases, feelings of losing your memory shouldn't cause for concern in older adults.

3). How the study of aging and memory has grown over the past generations especially as a larger part of the population is aging well into their 70's 80's and even 90's.

4). How limiting distractions either by minimizing tasks or commitments can help "de-clutter" your mind and provide clarity for thought etc.

5). Why putting emphasis on a healthier diet is important to cognitive function and how it can help with memory and thought during the day.

We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may be feeling like memory loss is becoming an issue. Taking the necessary steps to practice and exercise our memory function is something that can be done by all ages and should be included in normal self care practices. Keeping our bodies AND minds in shape is the name of the game to a longer, more independent, healthier life.
