Hello,
First of all, memory normally decrease with age. To slow down this process, you should take vitamin B complex once per day after meals, Benfotiamine twice per day after meals.
Aspirin twice per day after meals. You should do Lipid profile in your blood and if it were high, you should receive a medical treatment, reduce fat intake.
The reduction of salt intake is essential for you. Second, you should eat grilled fish and a healthy diet to avoid the deterioration of memory.
You do not have Alzheimer's disease, but you should protect yourself by the healthy diet, vitamins B complex and treating systemic illnesses. If you lived alone, you could get depression.
The symptoms of depression in the elderly can be similar to early-stage Alzheimer's, so you should do some hobbies and go to the club to meet people and avoid being isolated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
