Counseling Corner
Is Your Memory Beginning To Worry You?
Special to the Ledger
from the American
Counseling Association
You may have seen a
sign or t-shirt with the
slogan, “My ability to
remember song lyrics
from the 80s far exceeds
my ability to remember
why I walked into the
kitchen.” It’s a funny
quote, but one clearly
based on a real issue
many people experience
as they age.
Why do we seem more
forgetful or have more
problems with short
term memory as we
grow older? In some
cases it can be an early
indication of a more
serious problem — Alz
heimer’s disease. This
disease affects 5.8 mil
lion Americans and is
the nation’s 6th leading
cause of death.
But for most of us, it’s
simply that as the years
are passing our brains
experience various
physiological changes.
It’s quite common for
our brains to function a
bit slower, taking longer
to learn or recall infor
mation. Sometimes what
seems like memory loss
simply requires giving
our brains a little more
time to pull up the mem
ory or words.
However, beyond
aging, there are also
other factors that can
affect our memory, and,
most importantly, there
are things we can do to
improve brain function.

Certain drugs, for
example, can negatively
affect memory. If you’re
taking a variety of
medications, check with
your family physician
or pharmacist to see if
there’s any connection
to memory issues. Your
doctor can also evaluate
other health issues that
impact memory, includ
ing high cholesterol lev
els, high blood pressure
and some illnesses.
And yes, our bad
habits can also impact
memory. Smoking, a
poor diet, and heavy al
cohol usage can all play
a role in how well we
think and remember.
Changing some of our
lifestyle habits can boost
memory function. Stay
ing physically active has
been shown to actually
help improve memory.
You can also get a mem
ory boost from eating
better, specifically a diet
rich in fruits and veg
etables, low in fat and
cholesterol, and includ
ing omega-3 rich fish.
Brain function also
appears to improve with
brain exercise. Keeping
mentally active through
reading, doing puzzles,
playing games and per
haps even using online
brain exercise programs
all may possibly im
prove memory.
Not everyone has
memory problems as
they age, but when such
issues appear it can be
troubling. If you find
you’re forgetting more
frequently, repeating
yourself in conversa
tions, or being confused
by familiar activities,
check with your doctor
to ensure it’s not a more
serious problem.

Dave Says
(Why do I need a will
if I’m young?)
Dear Dave,
Why do I need a will
if I’m still young and
haven’t acquired a lot of
wealth?
Laura
Dear Laura,
In a case like yours,
you don’t need a com
plicated will. But you
do need an inexpensive,
basic will. The larger
and more
complicat
ed your es
tate is, the
more you’d
spend
on estate
planning
and a will
in order
to ensure
everything
is proper
ly ad
dressed—
and to keep
the gov
ernment’s
hands off everything.
Let’s say you’re in
your early- to mid-twen
ties and single. You
have a car and a bank
account, and that’s it. In
this kind of scenario, it’s
going to be easy to work
through your estate. But
it’s going to take your
parents—or whoever’s
left—a whole lot longer
to get those few simple
transactions taken care
of if you don’t have a
will in place.
The other thing you’ll
always want to have in
your will package is
a healthcare power of
attorney directive. This
includes things like
who’s going to make
medical decisions for
you if you’re unable to
make decisions for your
self. As a part of this,
you’d want to fill out the
paperwork on whether
to disconnect life sup
port systems in the event
of a coma. These things
aren’t fun to think
about, but doing it will
take a huge burden off
the people you love. And
all this becomes even
more important if you
have children, because
the state will
step in and
decide what
happens to
them if you
don’t.
Having
these things
laid out
ahead of
time, and
sharing them
with your
family and
close friends,
is a very
thoughtful
and mature
thing to do for those
who would be left be
hind in the event of your
death. They’re already
going to be distraught
and grieving, and you
don’t want to make it
worse by leaving them
with a lot of important,
difficult decisions to
make.
—Dave
(Keep the house)
Dear Dave,
My wife and I are
on Baby Step 2, and
the only debt we have
is $90,000 in student
loans. We bring home
about $90,000 a year.
In addition to this, we
See Dave,
