Once upon a time you could remember birthdays, phone numbers, etc.

Now, you're lucky if you can remember what you ate for breakfast.  If you're lossing your memory, try these helpful tips:

1.  Aim for more antioxidants such as using vitamin A, C and E.  Vitamin A can be found in carrots, apricots, tomatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, and sweet potatoes.  Vitamin C can be found in oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, cantaloupe and strawberries.  Lastly, vitamin E can be found in wheat germ, nuts, and vegetable oils.

2.  Use various herbs such as ginkgo and ginseng which both boost memory and concentration. 

3.  Give your mind a workout by solving crossword puzzles and reading books.

4.  Drink plenty of water.  Dehydration causes confusion, disorientation and other problems.
