The Memory Game It’s time to get working on your mind and memory. Just as we care for our body with exercise and the correct diet, we also need to care for our mind to ensure those precious moments aren’t forgotten. By Alison Coldridge www.womanthismonth.com Wellbeing We all have those loopy moments where we tear apart our homes looking for glasses perched innocuously atop our heads, or those embarrassing blunders where we call a colleague by the wrong name. The fact of the matter is the brain is congested and sometimes needs help, particularly within the memory department. Without being able to store memories, every element of life would be a struggle; challenges that people with dementia have to face. Our memory assists us with every aspect of our day-to-day life, from how to do basic equations to what the name of your mother is. 48 | September 2012
