Summary:
"Leave it to one of America’s best-selling physician/authors to tackle one of the country’s fastest-growing health concerns. With over 77 million baby boomers living in the U.S.,
memory
loss
is quickly becoming a major issue. Although the common belief is that these irritating lapses in the ability to remember are a normal part of aging, current scientific research indicates otherwise. In fact, there are a number of reasons these lapses
can
occur. The good news is that once we understand why, we
can
actually restore and even
strengthen
our mental acuity. In her new book,
What
You
Must
Know
About
Memory
Loss
&
How
You
Can
Stop
It, Dr. Pamela Wartian Smith explains why we forget things and
what
we
can
do to not only reverse the problem, but also enhance our ability to focus, concentrate, and comprehend. Dr. Smith begins by discussing why it is important not to simply accept
memory
loss
as a normal part of aging. She then presents an in-depth look at the most common causes of these lapses in memory—nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, toxic overload, poor blood circulation, and lack of physical and mental exercise. She begins each section with a questionnaire to determine if the test taker’s
memory
may be affected by that particular cause. The author then details
how
that cause is involved in impaired
memory
, as well as a host of other mental issues ranging from insomnia to personality changes. Dr. Smith follows each discussion with a list of
proven
remedies to correct each issue. Also included in the book is a special section on recognizing and dealing with severe
memory
loss
