Why do I have poor memory?
Poor memory is annoying enough, but worse still is the anxiety that accompanies it. We start asking ourselves if it is a symptom of a more serious problem, like depression or Alzheimer’s disease – which it usually isn’t.
Emotional stress has a major impact on our immediate and long-term memory and cognitive functions, and underlies many of the mental health problems in society today so stress management plays a key role in keeping our brains fit
Memory loss is a natural part of ageing …right?
Wrong! Contrary to popular belief, the ageing process has little, if anything to do with our ability to recall information.
Occasional memory lapses, like misplacing the car keys or forgetting something at the grocery shop are a normal, natural part of life at any age and are not likely to signal serious memory loss. In fact, with the proper diet and lifestyle our memory should remain sharp and active well into to our nineties or beyond.

Join nowHow does healthy nutrition help address memory and cognitive decline naturally?
One reason that people experience poor memory is an insufficient supply of the necessary nutrients needed for proper brain function – especially B vitamins and amino acids.
Our blood is the life force of our body. If it becomes thick with cholesterol and triglycerides, less nutrient rich blood can get through the blood brain barrier and into our brain. Over time this can result in our brain becoming malnourished.
The good news is that poor memory and cognitive decline can often be managed by:
- focusing on eating a wholefood diet
- avoiding exposure to toxins
- identifying food allergies and intolerances
- ruling-out underlying conditions
- correcting nutritional deficiencies,
as well as the appropriate use of nutritional supplements and home remedies.
