      INTRODUCTION

      Why You Need

      a Memory Supplement

      Today, 4.5 million Americans and 35 million people worldwide are impacted by age-related memory and cognition problems. By 2050, the number worldwide is expected to climb beyond 115 million. Fifteen new cases of dementia are diagnosed every minute.

      Human life expectancy has increased by about eight years in only five decades. Dementia is becoming a serious problem because we are living longer life spans than ever before, and the diseases that once did us in before we experienced loss of memory and decreased thinking ability are no longer life-threatening. More people survive well into their eighties and beyond than ever before. They want to live full, involved, independent lives, which requires good cognitive function.

      Dementia is chronic and progressive. Its future increase here in the United States and in other countries—especially developing countries—stands to wreak havoc on the ability of younger generations to manage its economic and caregiver impact.

      The good news is that there is a lot we can do to forestall the brain changes that lead to cognitive decline. We know a great deal about the factors that most strongly influence brain aging. And you’ll be surprised to learn how many very commonly prescribed medications—drugs being taken by the majority of those over seventy years old in some parts of the world—may be contributing to the epidemic of premature cognitive decline. Exercise is particularly potent here—only an hour a week appears to cut the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in half.

      Before we begin looking at solutions, let’s take a look at the most common memory and cognition issues people tend to face as they age.

      DEMENTIA

      This is a catchall term describing any form of cognitive decline. The most common cause of age-related dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, but it can also be triggered by one or more small strokes, which can cause cumulative damage that has symptoms like those of Alzheimer’s. The only way to know for sure whether dementia is specifically of the Alzheimer’s variety or is due to other causes is to actually look at an individual’s brain tissue postmortem, as Dr. Alzheimer did with his first patient (see below).

      ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (AD)

      In 1906, Bavarian physician Alois Alzheimer identified the first defined case of what he called presenile dementia. The patient gradually lost her ability to form and retain short-term memories, and developed other symptoms too, including agitation. After her death, Dr. Alzheimer dissected her brain and found deposits of a substance called beta-amyloid, along with neurofibrillary tangles, or clumps of damaged neurons, in a part of the brain called the hippocampus. This was the first documented case of the disease that now is responsible for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases.

      Most people who develop AD are sixty-five or older, but up to 5 percent of people who have the disease fall into the category of early onset—they begin to have symptoms in their forties or fifties.

      Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease that worsens over time. On average, a person can expect to live between four and twenty years following the point at which his or her symptoms become obvious. Life expectancy for someone with AD also depends on the person’s overall health and the presence or absence of other health conditions. Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

      Modern medicine does not have a cure for AD. Medical treatments do exist, and they vary in effectiveness. Research into both alternative and mainstream
