Keeping Your Memory Sharp

You may notice that your memory isn’t what it used to be. You may be misplacing things more frequently or having difficulty recalling familiar names during conversations. These types of memory lapses can occur at any age, but we tend to worry more about them as we get older because we fear they are a sign of dementia or Alzheimer’s. It is important to know that some amount of memory loss is typical and nothing to worry about, while significant memory loss is a sign that there is something else going on. Regardless if  you are experiencing memory loss now or trying to prevent it from occurring, there are various strategies we can use to protect and sharpen our minds at any age. Here are some you can try. Download our ten tips for maintaining mental sharpness.

Normal Aging or Dementia

Memory complaints are common and their frequency usually increases with age. Do you ever find yourself walking into a room and wondering, “What was I looking for?” Inevitably, after giving up and walking away, it comes back to you. But, do you remember how you felt before? Frustrated? Yes. Or did you wonder if you are experiencing memory loss? You’re probably not. The good news is that you are most likely overwhelmed, and like many of us, too busy. 

As we age, we may need additional help from paying bills to purchasing groceries. A family member, friend or caregiver can help with these. However, if memory loss disrupts daily life, it is not normal aging and may require medical attention. So, how do you recognize the difference between “normal” aging or dementia.
