However, there is no reason why we shouldn't have a good memory into our old age if we take the right
vitamins and minerals.

I don't think I was the first to use the expression ?age-related functional decline', but I think it an excellent descriptive summary of what happens as we age. Aging, as we experience it, is the result of many related physiological processes slowing gradually, or in some cases rapidly. Everything that used to run at full tilt gradually slows to a crawl, and finally, one or more of these processes gets so broken that we die.

The best place to start in preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease is with diet, lifestyle and nutritional supplementation. Most Alzheimer's research focuses on anatomical changes that occur in the brain instead of on useful therapies. Many studies have demonstrated that elderly people who take vitamin and mineral supplements enjoy better brain function. Numerous studies have shown that free-radical damage to brain cells is a primary cause of Alzheimer's. A high level of antioxidants prevent free-radical damage.

Protecting The Brain Against Age Related Damage
The brain generates a tremendous amount of free radicals as a part of its daily functioning. Some scientists believe that over the course of months and years, these free radicals may contribute to the impairment of healthy brain activity that occurs with aging.
