A Suggestion to Remember

“Mastering Memory” (April 8) was an interesting and informative article--good food for thought. At 28, I thought I was losing my mind because my memory was not serving me well. Then a doctor suggested that “the art of retention is attention.”

I won’t question whether or not memory enhancers including antioxidants will help in aiding the memory-impaired (I’m no doctor), but I will continue to give full attention to what I hear, see and read. At 49, this daily practice has served my memory well.
