Have you ever gotten up from your chair and walked into the another room looked around “wondering what did I come in here for?” turned around and walked back out. Then, as soon as you sit down, you remember I forgot my glasses and back you go to get them.
Well, your not alone, and the older you get the more it happens. Some people call these senior moments. I call them veinte vueltas – meaning 20 turns, because on a bad day you feel like you have been going in circles all day long and haven’t accomplished anything.
Or how about this one, you put something away so you can use it later and then you don’t remember where you put it.
Another is, you are speaking to someone and you forget what you are saying, then you ask them “What was I talking about?” And they don’t remember or your conversation was so boring they were not paying attention.
Most of the time people just think they are tired and they just have brain fog, or they need a cup of coffee, but you need to be careful what you use to stimulate the brain not everything that is over the counter is safe. You need to read what it is and look up the ingredients that they put in this pill, and even if the doctor says take this prescription to help your brain, you also need to question that too.
I would rather take something natural, grown from my very own garden. At least I know that it would be fresh and nothing strange was added to it.
There are a few natural herbs that can help you with your memory.
