Memory Loss is Linked to Aging
2

• Aging can unfortunately lead to health
  problems. It is found that people overlook these
  problems and this causes things to get worse with
  the time. Memory loss is among these issues.
• Several studies have shown that the human
  brain ages like the rest of our body. Hence, at
  age 20, your brain starts losing its cells. But
  at that age, memory loss and aging should not
  really bother you much. Memory loss and aging is
  a long slow process. In fact for many, both
  memory loss and aging do not even go together!

What Leads To Memory Loss?

• You will easily find a number of people who
  are already in their 60s and 70s with a very good
  memory.  On the contrary, there are young people
  who are still in their early twenties
  experiencing memory loss. So what causes this?
• To understand this, you need to know that
  there are a number of reasons why people lose
  their memory.
• Secondly, the possible cause of memory loss
  can be a head injury and stroke. When severe head
  trauma affects the brain, there are good chances
  that it leads to temporary or even permanent
  memory loss. You will find people who suffer from
  severe head injuries and deal with temporary or
  complete amnesia. The only good thing is that
  when treated properly, the amnesia sufferers
  (after an accident) eventually regain their
  memory.
• You might have confronted people who abuse
  drugs and alcohol, then later in life suffer from
  memory loss significantly. Drug and alcohol abuse
  can severely affect the brain and even cause
  severe brain damage. Many young people are more
  at risk of brain damage due to its excessive use.

Are Your Memory Problems Serious?

• One thing you need to understand is that memory
  loss and aging happens gradually. With growing
  age, it is normal for you to forget names and
  faces randomly. But when you start to forget
  things you have done just a few minutes ago or
  when you start feeling that you tend to forget
  your regular routines, you may need some help.
• Yes, memory loss is more common among the
  elderly. But it can be treated and prevented,
  altogether!
