As the years roll on, memory rolls up, slopes off and tucks itself away in a cobwebby cerebral recess. It’s normally no fun growing old. As if it’s not bad enough that your knees creak and you can’t read the newspaper unless you hold it at arm’s length – then your memory starts to go.
Quite subtly at first, of course. You walk to another room for something and by the time you get there, you forget what you came for. Names become elusive; household objects are just never where you thought you left them; you peel vegetables for supper, keep the peelings and throw out the veg – and the peeler. Eventually, you resign yourself to life membership of the CRAFT club – ‘Can’t Remember a Flaming Thing’ – and blame every lapse in memory on your advancing years.
All is not lost. Lots of hints and tips on how to Age Proof Your Brain in our BLOG
