Half a boob, half a brain!!!

Thanks for article @kezmusicand I'll also try th swisse memory and focus pills..anything is worth a try! I also do berocca and magnesium. I do think they help a bit. Cheers xx

@primek  I have been taking the Swisse memory & focus pills.  It's ginko, brahmi and vit B. Plus I live on berocca.  I think its helped a bit. Dunno maybe.

@primek I've been slowly digesting that little nugget of joy all day since popping Dr Google earlier. It really is choose your f*****g poison.

Oh...and a plant based diet...Mediterranean pretty high up there as spot on. 

Thanks ladies! Yes, @primek, it also scared crap out of me when G P told me. I remember my dear great grandmother,  she had totally lost the plot but was mid eighties, my mum is 79 and great. I came home and got back into fish oil and b vitamins, have a fairly healthy diet, lots of fruit, veg, fish and limuted red meat. Cholesterol used to be high but was okay on Tamoxifen,  will have to monitor it now i have changed medication as that is another risk factor!!  I have been quite accepting that life is different than it used to be but didn't really think i would be worried about cognitive decline just yet!! Oh well, onward and upward !!!

Grief, one thing after another! Still, 6 years of AIs, 74 this year and OK so far!  Exercise, tick. Cryptic crosswords and sudoku daily, tick. Vitamin B, tick. Diet good on Omega 3 fatty acids, tick. Still working, tick. I'll look at the rest on the list though! 

I attended a lecture this week on 70 being the new 65 from a senior psychi- geriatrician from St vincents hospital. 

The lrcture was giving stats on dementia and it was astonishing how much higher it appeared in women.

I asked why that was. I was informed they believe it was related to the estrogen drop after menopause. Of course I asked if higher in women taking  AI but was informed no actual studies on that.

So...that scared the crap out of me, especially as my grandmother had alzeihmers, my Aunt and my mother was developing it when she passed.

What he did say is what can reduce risk...what can help.

Exercise...of course.
Using your brain...study, companionship, puzzles.
Vitamins. ..E and B
Ghinko biloba
And Omega 3 fatty acids.

So i had started all those things but ghinko and slightly higher dose of E thats not in my mulitivit...but will be looking into trialling it. It can't hurt.

@Michele B My daughter husband and I play silly guessing games. My daughter says I will never win because I will always forget what I guessed!
