Antiaging Solutions to Memory Loss

Solutions to Memory Loss

Approaching our early 50s, you may start to notice that your memory is not as good as it once was. However, this decline in brain function starts off in our mid-20s and slowly, unnoticeably declines as we age. What’s the best natural antiaging solution for the gradual decline of our memories?

There are several ways we can slow down the process of gradual memory loss. Healthy eating habits can help slow down or even stop the gradual memory loss that occurs with aging. Adding to your diet lots of iron rich foods such as eggs, legumes and oily fish will help stop any loss of brain power due to anemia. It is also good to drink certain herbal teas such as lemon balm help the brain keep and retrieve information. Also good teas to drink are green and black teas known to help stop memory loss. Another good natural herbal tea is peppermint tea which assists in concentration and mental alertness. Make sure you chose organic teas; you don’t want to add another health problem when trying to solve the problem of memory loss and aging.


Other ways to prevent memory loss in aging is teaching your brain, to do new activities will keep the brain muscle supple. One is never too old to learn something new, unless of course, you have let your brain get lazy. Many colleges and other community centers offer all kinds of courses in anything you can imagine. Study a new language, learn a new form of dancing, pick up a hobby seriously in something you were always interested in. Take different kinds of exercise classes, join a group of walkers, take up yoga. Read new books, learn to relax because stress inhibits your brain in functioning properly.

Buy some purple sage which is known to aid in brain function. Use it in sauces, roasts and stews. Purchase some Oil of Rosemary for aromatherapy, its purpose is primarily for alertness and memory function. Add lots of foods rich in anti-oxidants such as blueberries and spinach and have been shown to reverse mental decline.

And for the best natural solutions to aging, check out the following list of health supplements to help with memory loss at your health storeknown:

Choline

Vitamin B12

Folic Acid

Phosphatidylserine

Gingko biloba – a brain tonic and improves blook cicculation

Co-Enzyme Q10

Zinc

Vitamin C

Vitamin E

Magnesium

Huperzine A

Omega 3 Fatty Acids


A naturopath or an anti-aging doctor with experience in correct dosages of health supplements will be able to tell you how much you need to take of what supplement and how often.


Also, balancing your hormones with natural bioidentical hormones is a great assistance to preventing memory loss. Having too much or too little estrogen, both in men and women can effect memory loss and brain function. Antiaging doctors can help you to balance your hormones.


As we get older, it is possible for men and women can keep an alert brain and halt memory loss by looking at life from new angles, stay optimistic and stay adamptable. All of these qualities affect immunity to the diseases and problems of aging.
