How to solve age-related problems? When you reach a certain age, every lost key or hard-to-conjure word comes with a nagging question: is my mind slipping? The answer is likely yes. But that doesn’t mean you are becoming senile or need to worry.

Most people forget things a bit more as they age, especially in their 60s and 70s. This happens because processing speed changes start in your 20s.

Initially, these changes are too small to perceive, but eventually, they become noticeable. Growing older does not necessarily mean that your mental abilities will be reduced. There’s a lot you can do to keep your mind sharp and alert. 

Researchers think that many age-related changes in the mind, like memory loss, are linked to lifestyle. Just as muscles get flabby from sitting around and doing nothing, so does the brain.
