One of our most treasured mental abilities is to remember the past.    How often do we retreat into our memories and relive our memories?  Our amazing brain is truly remarkable in its ability to retrieve memories from a cache of millions of memories stashed in various parts of our brains.  No one understands what parts of the brain are involved in storing memories, but scientists continue their studies in their efforts to find ways to improve memory retention and recall.
Everyone has his or her own "memory-autobiography" of their life. Very few of us, however, can remember the earliest days of our youth as memory is said to be constructive as we develop.  We also tend to distort certain memories.  We often remember important events, people, facts about ourselves and specific days when some momentous thing happened ( 9/11, a bad experience, family deaths etc.)

Aging also has a negative effect upon both our short-term and long-term memories. As we age, we begin to lose our ability to recall events, people's names, faces, numbers, locations and where we left the car keys or even the car.  Virtually everyone suffers from memory loss, even when we are young.  It's normal and not a worry.  At advanced ages, however, memory losses can be very serious.   Amnesia and Alzheimer's diseases are examples of maladies that can be devastating to families and the victims.

What can we do if we believe we are losing some memories?

·  One thing is certain--exercise is very helpful as we supply additional oxygen to our brain cells when we engage in aerobic (oxygen-supplying) exercises,  even walking is beneficial.  Exercise every day! 
·  Another good tactic to stay sharp is to spend time learning something new every day. Reading is a great stimulant and should be made a daily habit. Watching educational TV is also often helpful.  
·  Write down family facts and personal histories. It's is an excellent way to recall the past.   Compare your memories with those who shared in them and who may have an entirely different take.  
·  Learn a new language.  It's  a great memory stimulant. Those who speak another language have more capacity for activating brain neurons and synapses.  
·   Make lists of things to do every day that include memory "sparks."  An aging friend of mine has a sign on the door to his garage that he can easily read every time he leaves the house.  The signs reminds him:  " Stop! Where am I going?      What am I forgetting?  What do I need to take along with me?"  The sign helps a lot, but he reports that sometimes he forgets to read the sign. 
·   Try to reduce stress in your life as stress can and does reduce your memory.  
·   Learn how to play a musical instrument.   Music can be a calming brain stimulant. 
·   Take on a new job or regularly volunteer to help those in need. 
·   Do mind puzzles and word games.  It's amazing how helpful they can be.
·   Above all, keep yourself in good physical condition by using only healthy foods and drinks and taking only those supplements that will provide optimum nutrition, vitamins, minerals and Essential Fatty Acids that our bodies need to       protect every part of your bodies,  including our brains.    

After many years of medical and scientific studies, Dr. Tim has formulated four exotic drinks that are extraordinary in their nutritional content and are beneficial to maintaining our health. Each juice is unique, each has qualities such as high ORAC values (antioxidants), vitamin and mineral content, Essential Fatty Acids, Omega 6 & 9.  These elements and others in the juices have been shown to contribute to the optimum performance of the body and mind.
