Some memory loss can take place between the ages of twenty and thirty, forty. So, when you start to recognize some memory loss, that's when you should be starting to be concerned about how your brain's functioning and start creating your mental exercises and systems to ward off--whether it be senility, dementia, and so much talk about Alzheimer's Disease. And recent studies, people who keep their minds active, who can actually ward off senility or dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. And a classic example: I had a friend who was ninety-seven years of age and he was on the front page of the Los Angeles Times. And the article read "Memory expert turns ninety-seven and his mind is still young." His name? Dave Roth, and it talked about how he remembered six hundred members of the Rotary Clubs by name, phone number, addresses, wives' names. And, keep in mind, he used to tell me and my students, and he himself, when he was lecturing about memory would say, "You've got to exercise your mind like you'd exercise a muscle, and your mind will grow stronger and stronger." And he's a classic example. Ninety-seven years of age and his mind is still young.
