Memory and Aging

When does "forgetfulness" become a problem?
When does "misplacing my keys" become a medical disorder?
We all age. Every part of our body ages, including our brain. Yes, there are people who seem to remain "young forever", but they are the exception.       

What about me? Should I be seeking advice?

What about "normal aging". Should we accept this as unavoidable? Are there techniques or treatments that are beneficial? When do I need the benefits of an assessment?

Our answer:
Observe yourself and your loved ones. Are the memory issues interfering with behaviour and function; either at home, socially, or on the job? Research demonstrates that the earlier we intervene, the greater the benefit.

Early identification and diagnosis is critical. Proper assessment is key.
The A.G.E. Matters clinic offers comprehensive assessment. We can determine if your perceptions are reflected in reality.

Are you "suffering" from normal aging, or is there a real problem? Contact us for an assessment.

Normal Aging and Memory: What can I do to stay healthy?

Science is advancing. Exercise and Nutrition are two lifestyle areas with increasing evidence demonstrating preservation and even improvement in general cognition and memory in particular. This website will update regularly with links to articles, books and other websites with important information. For starters, just remember "Heart and Mind: what is good for the heart, is good for the brain". Following the advice of the Heart and Stroke foundation and other health promotion organizations protects your brain, while at the same time promoting heart health.

The A.G.E. Matters clinic believes in lifestyle interventions, as well as the latest medical treatments to both prevent memory decline and to stabilize and even improve memory problems, when they occur.
