I think my memory problems are related to my high cholestral mostly and not age. Bad eating habits for 50 years has got to take its tole. After much thought and talking to others my age, just a bit of memory loss can be contributed to my age. Both my grandmothers lived to 95 and their memories were clear as a bell. I think would have lived longer if their children would not have insisted that they give up their work, gardening and hobbies. Of cource they did it for both grandmothers own good. I think keeping active and staying interested in life and others is the key.
Loosing weight is one of my goals at the moment. I'm sure overweight is bad for good health and activities. The ginkgo biloba 120mg has brought back my short term memory. I'll cut back on ginkgo when my weight is down to normal and cholestral is down. If never then I'll continue taking.
Even with my memory problem, I can think circles around the young people I work with.
