Hormones and Nutrition: Staying Well Tuned
Unfortunately, many people who develop memory loss assume that it must be due to the aging
process and do not consider the possibility that reversible causes like hormonal and nutritional
abnormalities may be the culprits. The good news about hormonal and nutritional abnormalities is
that if they are recognized early, they usually improve and can often be completely reversed with the
right treatment. For hormonal abnormalities, early recognition is the key and physician consultation
is required. To prevent nutritional causes of memory loss, in addition to eating a diet low in saturated
fats and rich in fruits and vegetables, taking a daily multivitamin tablet that meets the FDA
requirements for the major vitamins (B1 to B12, A, C, D, E) is the best strategy. For a promemory
effect, higher dose supplements of the antioxidant vitamins A, C, or E are necessary.
