POOR MEMORY

About Poor Memory

Occasional memory lapses are a natural part of life at any age, and memory should not necessarily deteriorate with age unless there is also Alzheimer’s disease.  Most memory lapses have nothing to do with this disease, however, and with proper diet and nutrition the memory should remain good until well into old age.

Reasons for memory loss can include insufficient supply of necessary nutrients to the brain, high cholesterol and triglycerides, insufficient nutrients to make relevant neurotransmitters, free radical damage caused by oxidation, menopause or peri-menopause, allergies, candidiasis, stress, thyroid disorders, hypoglycaemia and poor circulation to the brain.  Boredom and not paying attention to what needs to be remembered can also be a cause for poor memory.

 

Nutrition Facts & Diet Advice for Poor Memory

Consider the following nutrition guidelines:

 

  • Eat a diet high in raw and lightly steamed vegetables.

  • Eat brewer’s yeast (unless you have candidiasis), brown rice, millet, wheatgerm, soybeans, nuts, seeds, legumes, and organic eggs.

  • Eat oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, herring, sardine, pilchard at least three times per week.  When not eating these, take fish oil supplements.

  • Avoid sugar and anything containing sugar, white flour, white rice and all refined food.

  • Avoid alcohol.
