It's true that the older many people get, the worse their memory becomes. Part of the problem has to do with inactivity when it comes to using one's mind. Younger people are constantly learning (either in school, dealing with family life, or learning a new job). Older people often have been doing the same routine and things for many years, therefore they only use certain parts of their brains, and memory decreases. One good way to keep the brain going and working to help keep memory is to engage in learning activities, do crosswords, read new literature, anything to keep the mind active and expanding.

Yes, we can lose our memory power when we get older. But it is not a must. The brain have this plasticity characteristic. It can form new synapse and most of the synapse are formed during the first ten years of life. So for the whole of our life, the memory power already set up earlier.
We will loose our memory power when we did not stimulate the brain to modify the existing synapse. But to say we the memory power is decreasing is not really that true. If we stimulate our brain with activity such as reading, or acquiring new knowledge, we will not loose that memory power until the day we die.

This is incorrect. No one, at any age, needs to lose their memory--unless they are suffering with a disease such as Alzheimer's.
Keeping your mind active; doing something to exercise the brain every day keeps the memory going strong. The mom of a lifelong friend of mine is 96-years-old and as sharp as ever. She never smoked, drank, or became addicted to anything. She always ate healthily, never did anything to excess and got outdoors for a walk every day. She appears to be 20 years younger than her age.
She is more surprised about the life she's lead than anyone--as her parents, aunts, uncles, etc. all died at very young ages.

To a certain extent, yes. But if you have played the piano all your life, it's likely you won't lose the ability just because you get older. Recent research shows that people who challenge themselves by learning new languages, playing crossword puzzles and reading a lot can keep their minds sharp into advanced old age.

Meditation & Yoga is the suited way. and reminiscence potential is one in all those element that. you experience which you forget approximately however the element is that your concentration is week over that distinctive era. and attempt this use a place difficulty-loose to maintain difficulty-loose issues like key on table, wallet on table, cellular telephone on stand, archives in a rack. yet try this and habit this it may help you. in basic terms decide the situation on your strategies for a sec. until eventually now you leave some element there. thats it it is going to artwork and you will triumph over the subject.
