Many people believe that memory loss and aging go hand-in-hand: as a person gets older his or her memory begins to fail. However, the residents of the IOOF in Ennis spent 6 weeks learning about what practices they can adopt to be proactive against memory loss and aging. Participants learned strategies and lifestyle adaptations as well as how medical conditions, food and exercise can help sustain their memory. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Ellis County and County Extension Agent Danae Hicks, along with Master Wellness Volunteers Donna Green and Marie Gardner offered Master of Memory, a six-lesson class series helps participants understand how their memory works and what may affect their memory. Medical conditions, medications, diet and exercise, among other things, may all play a role in how memory works. Master of Memory will also help you identify and use strategies to improve your memory function. “Master of Memory is one of my all-time favorite programs to share with the community. I pick up something new every time I teach it. Being able to facilitate conversations during our classes that foster a community within our group shows participants that they are not alone in their struggles is such an amazing part of this program.”
