Carved In Sand-When Attention Fails and Memory Fades In Midlife


Image by Earthworm
Since forgetting crucial stuff like keys for housesitting, and a slew of other miscellaneous detail necessary for running a life, I read this to find out more about the phenomena of declining memory and found it reassuring that I wasn’t making it worse with toxic living (drinking, drugs, prescriptions drugs, pollutants), mild past brain injuries not registered as damaging, chronic health problems like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, thyroid conditions and chronic fatigue among many others and lastly, or maybe firstly, a ramped up over achiever lifestyle with extreme demands on a functioning frontal lobe.

Declining supplies of estrogen affects memory so there’s a reason to rethink hormone therapy. And hearing loss, too, I was interested to read. Apparently so much attention is spent on trying to make out what is heard that the brain picks up less textual information. I always thought the opposite was true of my hearing loss.

The book notes that chronic stress compromises memory and its true, stress does make for my most contentious mess-ups leading to lectures from Catherine who has devised a number of memory aids for herself including asking me to help her remember stuff which I rarely do remember to remember for her, but just asking me seems to help. I rarely ask for help having been an only child raised by only children who also didn’t ask for help much. The presence of people is often the cause of complete discombobulation for me (unless they’re paying me to help them to focus). Asking for help would improve my relationship in other ways too.

Information overload seems to be the major cause of forgetfulness and multi-tasking. This frontal lobe overload factor also parallels the lives of people in mid life who carry a myriad of responsibilities and haven’t yet settled down into a routine schedule of retirement.

The biological cause of memory loss in midlife is the decaying of the myelin sheath covering the tentacle of the neuron that sends messages to other neurons. As this deteriorates we experience blocks in memory and our brain takes a detour. At the same time the frontal lobe which is responsible for screening extraneous data also gets tired resulting in too many distracting thoughts, thus adult onset ADD as the joke goes.

The author writes this exploration of memory as she herself experiences it and what she tries to do about it. There are tedious mental exercises and more fun ones like crossword puzzles. There’s a battery of vitamins and supplements, fatty acids, omega 3 and glucose—about 5 a months worth—that comes with the 14-Day Memory Prescription Program Diet. You can also do meditation and neurofeedback all of which she tries out. The final chapter covers the activities of the cognitively well endowed which includes learning a new language, memorizing poetry, moving to another country, playing chess and learning to ballroom dance. This latter appealed to Catherine, but she wants to lead and we discovered that my arms are too long and ungainly for this. I think we’ll try chess.

I was assured by the book that one does not loose intellect and if you already have a spry brain you can dodge a lot of the impact of Alzheimer’s even, which I knew from reading about the nun’s study. What I did gain from reading this book was that it’s worth paying attention to information as it’s coming in and devising ways to remember it. Later when people get older they get used to this memory weakness and don’t worry about it so much.

all that I am taking with me to china and thailand for 18 days.
