Memory masterclass
A new study has suggested that the first signs of memory loss can occur as early as our thirties, while also revealing that it’s a condition 90% of us worry about. The good news is that there are a few simple things we can all do to prevent it. Here are the experts’ tops tips…
Our brain – and therefore our memory - relies on a steady supply of oxygen, and recent studies have shown that, when it comes to memory, regular exercise can be even more beneficial that first thought. "Any exercise is going to have a beneficial effect on memory because it improves cardiovascular function, which means that the brain is better nourished and detoxified," points out Dr Loveday. "But there are some studies which have shown that walking and running are both particularly good and may even lead to an increased size of the hippocampus - the area of the brain which is vital to memory."
Overdoing the vino won’t just leave you struggling to remember what you did last night – it could potentially affect your memory in a much more serious way. "Alcohol is by far and away the recreational drug that presents the biggest threat to memory," says Dr Loveday. "Alcohol doesn't only cause temporary amnesia (blackouts, etc) but chronic heavy use of alcohol can permanently destroy parts of the brain vital to memory and can also lead to long-term amnesia and/or dementia."

Eating soaked almonds (with the skin removed) and that too in the morning aids memory.

I remember (Just about)a few years ago, coming across the green lipped mussels from New Zealand. There was a time apparently,Maoris were free from dementia. Of course diets change due to the modern ways of life. Green lipped mussels in many health stores, mainly extracts . Contained within is an enzyme or ingredient that slows dementia considerably.

lol PG, behave with me. It's Star for you.
Yeh, it'll be cool if you can find a study. Isn't eating mussels quite slimy? Off putting it sounds and looks.
I usually salt the slugs outside in the garden...erk, the mess they leave behind makes me sick. Yet it's a delicacy.

Ah yes tea is fairly good,keep in mind it also has fluoride,what serious effects I at the moment can not say . As it is highlighted now a days. Too much fluoride is not good if at all. I have been corrected by a friend with me today- ,it will depend on quality. and I think the amounts one normally drinks may not cause any problems in normal usage.
