People often joke about getting older and forgetful with comments like . . . “I’m having a senior moment,” but it’s not a laughing matter. A hit-or-miss memory and issues such as brain fog can really put you off your game, and as usual, oxidative stress is the culprit.
When we are young, our brain and mind are sharp and focused and our memory is keen. As we get older, however, we assume that we will start becoming forgetful, have a hard time finding the right words to express, and lose our personal belongings somewhere in our home. We presume that brain fog will be our “new normal” as we get up in years, and many of us have seen this happen with loved ones and friends.
But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to our guest Susan Smith Jones, PhD. She’ll tell us today that you can be as mentally clear and perceptive in your seventies and beyond as you were in your forties and fifties, and this program will cover some of her tips for brain vitality. www.SusanSmithJones.mp3
