Symptoms of Memory Loss

Some of the early symptoms of mild memory loss include:

• Difficulty finding words
• Forgetting names
• Entering a room and not remembering why you went there
• Misplacing keys or personal items
• Forgetting internet passwords or PINS
• Explaining around a topic because you cannot come up with the word you wanted
• Starting a sentence and then losing track of what you wanted to say
• Repeating the same story multiple times
• Taking much longer to do tasks than previously
• Forgetting where you are

These symptoms generally get worse with age and can progress to more severe memory loss and even to Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.  If you or a loved one notices these early signs, it is important to invest in brain health as soon as possible.  There are many things that can be done to address memory loss, and the earlier they are employed, the better.  Long-term lifestyle choices and medical conditions can significantly impact memory.  Often people are not getting the balanced dietary nutrients that are needed to optimize brain health.  Supplements that support memory can be helpful in addressing memory loss and potentially delaying further progression.
