Memory fades as we grow older due to several factors
As we age, structural and chemical changes occur in the brain, affecting memory processes.
Aging can result in reduced blood flow to the brain, which may impair memory formation
Hormonal changes associated with aging can affect brain function, including memory processes.
Levels of certain neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers in the brain, may decrease with age, impacting memory function.
Over time, cells in the brain may become damaged due to factors such as oxidative stress and inflammation
Genetic factors can play a role in age-related memory loss, with some individuals
Factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic stress, and inadequate sleep can contribute to memory decline as we age.
