T:I have been forgetting words	

Q:Hi every one,  I'm new on here. 
  I am a <age> old male and recently had <num> stents fitted. 
 Gave me my life back. 
  Right,  reason for my message is that for the <time_period> or so,  I have been forgetting words and,  what have I gone for etc. 
 I have seen my <professional_practitioner> who gave me a test and said it is not dementia,  just old age. 
 My daughter and grandson are driving me mad and watching like hawk. 
 I know they care but it is too much so I have been Googling and come up with that I should take turmeric and black pepper together with a table spoon of olive oil. 
 The oil is to enable the turmeric and pepper to enter the blood stream and revitalise areas of the brain. 
  What I am trying to find out is how long to take effect and is it safe ?Regards <name>	
A:Hi <name>,  sorry to read about the grief you are dealing with from family members. 
 My husband is <age> & his memory is not the sharpest either,  it's part of normal aging,  not dementia. 
 Something I will share with you,  our son always looked at his dad as his hero. 
 Dad was someone that could fix anything,  build anything & was a perfectionist. 
 He does forget things. 
 My son says mom,  I hate seeing dad this way,  I always envision him being on the ball & I must remind myself dad is getting older. 
 It's hard for family to sometimes remember parents age. 
 Do not let family dictate this. 
 Get a note from your <professional_practitioner> that states you have old age,  not dementia. 
 There is a huge difference between old age & dementia! Before taking supplements such as you described,  I urge you to visit with your local <professional_practitioner> before taking anything like you mentioned. 
 You don't want to take something that may have adverse effects. 
 A good <professional_practitioner> may be able to guide you on a product that may help. 
 What may work for one,  may not work for someone else. 
  Keep in mind,  our <professional_practitioner> are not trained to learn about supplements,  your <professional_practitioner> is your best source. 
 Please stay off of Dr Google,  he is rarely right. 
 Take care. 
 
A:I've read <num> of articles about dementia and have never seen the concoction you mentioned. 
 If you're not already doing it - walking a few miles every day will do wonders for every part of your body. 
 Did your <professional_practitioner> ask you question like have you ever driven somewhere and not remembered how to drive back home?

A:As mentioned by others,  your status is normal for a <age> old person. 
 And the fact that you wrote your sensible post proves that. 
  But I would be very weary of the supplements you are thinking about. 
 Just eat sensibly for a person with heart issues. 
 Talk to your <professional_practitioner> for advice on the latter.
