Memory Loss with Aging

Information is stored in different parts of brain. Information stored in the short-term memory may include the name of a person you met moments ago. Information stored in the recent memory may include what you ate for breakfast. Information stored in the remote memory includes things that you stored in your memory years ago, such as memories of childhood.

When you are in your 20s, you begin to lose brain cells a few at a time. Your body also starts to make less of the chemicals your brain cells need to work. The older you are, the more these changes can affect your memory.

Aging affects memory by changing the way the brain stores information and by making it harder to recall stored information.

Your short-term and remote memories are not usually affected by aging. But recent memory may be affected. For example, many forget names of people met recently. These are normal changes

Many things other than aging can cause memory problems. These include depression, dementia (severe problems with memory and thinking, such as Alzheimer's disease), side effects of drugs, strokes, head injury and alcoholism.

Alzheimer's disease starts by changing the recent memory. At first, a person with Alzheimer's disease will remember even small details of his or her distant past but not be able to remember recent events or conversations. Over time, the disease affects all parts of the memory

A memory problem is serious when it affects your daily living. If you sometimes forget names, you're probably okay. But you may have a more serious problem if you have trouble remembering how to do things you have done many times before, getting to a place you have been to often, or doing things that use steps, like following a recipe. Another difference between normal memory problems and dementia is that normal memory loss does not get much worse over time. Dementia gets much worse over several months to several years.

Role of Noni in Memory Loss with Aging

High dietary intake of fats and cholesterol is one of the causes of dementia. The plant sterols are called Phytosterols. Noni contains the phytosterols that slow down the intestinal absorption of cholesterol and lowers total plasma and LDL cholesterol levels. Noni juice is an important source of (beta)sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol - the three most nutritionally important phytosterols. Noni helps in reducing serum cholesterol level and fats and thus helps in reducing the cause of dementia.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules or chemical species capable of independent existence. Generation of highly Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is an integral feature of normal cellular functions like mitochondrial respiratory chain, phagocytosis, arachidonic acid metabolism, ovulation and fertilisation. Their production however, multiplies several folds during pathological conditions. Areas of the body with high energy output, such as brain, are particularly vulnerable to damage from free radicals. The body normally defends itself against the harmful effects of free radicals with antioxidants. Noni is an effective antioxidant as it contains all the antioxidant vitamins, all trace minerals and lots of phytochemicals. Noni also enhances synthesis of endogenous antioxidants in our body. The 3 antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase are synthesized more by the stimulatory effect of Noni. Noni helps neurons from oxidative damage by its effective antioxidant property. Atherosclerosis that occurs in the arteries serving the brain (cerebrovascular disease) can reduce blood flow to the aging brain and increase the risk of stroke. The decreased blood flow causes nerve cells in the brain to be lost prematurely. Consequently, mental function may decline. LDL cholesterol develops the atherosclerotic plaques in side the artery. Noni prevents absorption of LDL cholesterol, thus helps in prevention of atherosclerotic plaques formation. Stress is one cause of memory loss. Noni increases serotonin level in blood and thus helps to reduce stressful condition. It also helps for a sound sleep. Noni contains all the phytosterols. Phytosterols are plant based sterols that act as precursors to human sterols. They act to modulate the human endocrine system. One of the most important human sterols is Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels naturally decline as people age. Numerous studies have connected lowered DHEA levels to memory loss and decreased cognitive function.
