Memory and aging

As you get older, your memory doesn’t work as well as it used to. That’s because as you age, the cells in your brain start to change and some of them die. This makes it harder for you to remember things, like names, places and dates. To help your memory stay strong, you need to exercise your brain by reading, doing puzzles or playing board games. You should also get plenty of sleep and eat healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Doing these things can help keep your memory sharp as you get older.
