Memory Loss

How many times have your walked into a room and forgot why you were there? Or put your car keys in the refrigerator? Memory, attention span and concentration start to slip in many people over 40. Most people are concerned about slowing the aging process and preventing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Many factors are responsible for memory loss including vitamin, mineral and hormone deficiencies, high blood pressure, diabetes, toxins, and gland and organ dysfunction.

Your Brain Starts Shrinking

Memory loss is related to the loss of acetylcholine, the biochemical that controls hydration, resulting in your brain literally drying out. As early as age 30, your brain starts to shrink. This can lead to cognitive, psychiatric and personality symptoms. Increasing levels of acetylcholine helps prevent these risks and improves memory.

Memory Hormone Levels Drop

People with memory loss have also lost their hormones. Specifically, after age 25, production of your memory hormone, pregnenolone, decreases. It helps fight mental fatigue and boosts your mental energy, so keeping levels up is essential. Studies have shown that failing levels of the hormone estrogen are closely tied to subsequent dementia in women. You need hormone testing to determine if hormone imbalances are present. When found, appropriate treatment with natural hormones corrects both deficiences and excesses.

Nutrition and Activity

Increasing exercise and staying fit, keeps your mind in good shape. A diet rich in brain boosting foods also reduces memory declines. In addition, special therapeutic minerals and other natural medicines enhance cognitive function and lessen the likelihood of developing dementia.

Get Heavy Metals Out

For many individuals, the beginning of memory problems is a sign of heavy metal toxicity that could lead to severe forms of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Toxic metal testing determines your toxic load. To assist in the removal of accumulated heavy metals, medical detoxification is one of the best treatment options available today. Plaquex therapy improves circulation, increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to your brain.

Exercise Your Brain

Work your brain every day with activities that test your mental prowess. Puzzles, crosswords and new hobbies will maintain your mental function. The expression "use it or lose" applies to your brain too.
