Hi Amyzon,
Some degree of memory problems, as well as a modest decline in other thinking skills, is a fairly common part of aging. But, when memory problems disrupt your ability to work, live independently or maintain a social life, talk to your doctor to get a timely diagnosis and appropriate care.
To my knowledge, there is no scientific evidence linking sugar substitutes to memory loss.
There are many causes of memory loss including an event in which not enough oxygen was going to the brain (heart stopped, stopped breathing, complications from receiving anesthesia). Memory loss is one of the most recognizable sign of dementia. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia.
There are 5 things which you can do to prevent further heart disease.
Don't smoke
Exercise for 30 minutes most days of the week. Consult with your physician before starting an exercise program.
Eat a heart healthy diet. Eating a special diet called the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan can help protect your heart.
Maintain a healthy weight.One way to see if your weight is healthy is to calculate your body mass index (BMI), which considers your height and weight in determining whether you have a healthy or unhealthy percentage of body fat. BMI numbers 25 and higher are associated with higher blood fats, higher blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
Have your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked regularly per your physician's recommendations.
