Red Wine Is Good For Health

I hear that some red wine every night is good for the health, therefore joining a wine club is great!  you get to check out lots of different kind of wine and you also learn to appreciate what you are drinking. I love red wine that are fruity and not dry in taste but since I won’t want to spend alot just on one bottle.. it was certainly a great thing to be in the club.

Forgetfulness

I’ve noticed i forget alot these days. Even when I’ve just done something.. i would forget if i had done it.. like taking my medication. So i am kinda worried. How much forgetfulness is too much…?? is this a sign of early Alzheimer…??

It is said that occasional memory lapses like forgetting where the car is parked are not signs of early Alzheimer’s, but doctors still aren’t entirely sure how much forgetfulness indicates a greater risk of developing the full-blown disease. The problem isn’t that you can’t remember where you put your keys from time to time, it’s that once you find the keys, you still can’t recall that you put them in that spot. The problem isn’t forgetting a single appointment, but a pattern of blanking on important events or responsibilities.

“Miss an exit on the highway once, that happens. Miss it five times and that’s another story.”

People with mild cognitive impairment may be more forgetful than usual, but can still pay the bills and handle most daily tasks. Signs include losing track of a conversation, difficulty remembering details from a TV show they’ve just watched or consistently forgetting appointments.

Because it can be difficult to recognize the boundaries between typical absentmindedness, mild cognitive impairment and the early stages of Alzheimer’s, i think people who are worried about recurring forgetfulness like I should consult a physician. There are tests to check a person’s mental abilities, and neurologists can determine if something is seriously wrong.
