The cartoon that I have selected above for this post has a double meaning. \u00a0Your brain\/mind is like the operating system of your computer. \u00a0We all know how messed up our computers can get at times. We’ll, our brains\/minds can also get messed up by a number of interfering\/damaging factors – resulting in compromised brain computer memory.<\/p>\n

I know that memory loss is no laughing matter. \u00a0My mother suffered from serious memory challenges – dementia – in her late 80’s. Our hope as a family was always that it\u00a0never got to the point where\u00a0our mother didn’t know us.\u00a0\u00a0A fall in her 80’s where my mother broke 6 ribs, combined with her having no recall of the incident and prescribed\u00a0limitations imposed due to the injury –\u00a0has presented additional care challenges.<\/p>\n

Memory loss is a sad reality that many people have to face as they watch their parents age. Many people even younger are experiencing memory issues. So what is going wrong? Do people who live in the ‘blue zones<\/a>‘ of the world experience the same degree of compromised memory?<\/p>\n

Memory involves three processes: encoding, storage and retrieval. \u00a0These processes are carried out by various parts of the brain. Obviously something is going ‘wrong’ in the brain – resulting in compromised memory.<\/p>\n

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPROMISED MEMORY?<\/strong><\/p>\n
