                        SYMPTOMS 
                          - You find you are forgetting too many things.  
                           
                        CAUSES 
                          - Alcoholism, aging, candidacies, stress, allergies, 
                          thyroid problems, hypoglycemia, diabetes, and poor circulation 
                          are factors in memory loss.  
                           
                        TREATMENT 
                           
                           
                       
                      
                        - 
                          
 
                            Eat a nourishing, balanced, diet and skip all the 
                            junk, processed, and fried food. Good food is needed 
                            to nourish the brain.  
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
Nutritional 
                            deficiencies, especially of the B complex and amino 
                            acids, add to memory loss. Obtain your proteins from 
                            brewer's yeast, brown rice, millet, nuts, soy, and 
                            whole grains rather than from meat sources.  
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
Maintain 
                            an even amount of blood sugar. This is best done by 
                            eating complex carbohydrates at mealtime, and no food 
                            between meals.  
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
Avoid 
                            greasy and high-cholesterol foods; both interfere 
                            with passage of food through the blood to the brain. 
                             
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
Avoid 
                            free radicals in the diet; these can greatly damage 
                            brain memory.  
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
Avoid 
                            refined sugars; these reduce brain power.  
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
For 
                            some people, dairy and wheat products cause memory 
                            reduction. Try cutting them out for a month and see 
                            if there is improvement.  
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
Drink 
                            enough water, get enough rest at night. Exercise regularly. 
                             
                             
                         
                        - 
                          
Stop 
                            using liquor, drugs, caffeine, and tobacco. Alcohol 
                            does an excellent job of destroying the brain.
