Memory and Aging Generally
I've been watching a fascinating BBC Horizon programme on memory. Having noticed a deterioration recently (I'm in my 40s) and hearing about Terry Pratchett being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, I've been worried. Talking to contemporaries has made me feel a little better, but seeing a bloke in his 50s with quite bad Alzheimer's made me worry some more. I dunno - I had to give someone my car registration the other day and not only could I not remember it (I've never been that good at this) - I couldn't even call to mind the general format of a car reg number.

Ginko Biloba is supposed to help. Zinc is also good brain food & throwing out the aluminium saucepans is advisable. Conventional medical opinion advocates more water-drinking and plenty of brain stimulating activity such as crossword puzzles (presumably it doesn't issue prescriptions of 'Countdown'/Carol Vorderman!)
