During the course of normal aging, the brain undergoes a number of changes. Normally People’s personalities do change somewhat with age, resulting in various degrees of age-related memory decline.
Senescence(old age) is potential foe.
Age is in the mind. It is the spirit that counts. One can be 60, yet exuberant and young at heart. Look upon whatever you do not as a job, but as a hobby. When you take that line, it gives you two essential vitamins for maturing: consistency and fun.

The knowledge by which, man clings and holding on to one single thing (body or image), as all (that alone in all) attached, without any reason thinking of it and considering it to be the whole universe.
In-completion of any sense creates attachment of that object. Too much attachment causes numerous diseases.
One is attached to money, another is attached to work, and the other very much attached to family and children, another attached to sensual pleasures, attached to the body as the whole of life; attached to some object, and so on, in ignorance man considers it as the whole truth. There is no rational judgment behind this knowledge. It is not founded on Truth. It is trifling, producing trivial result.
But that which clings to one single effect as if it were the whole without concern for the cause without grasping the real or original and narrow is declared to be of the nature of “dullness”. – Bhagavad-Gita

Menopause: Menopause and loss of estrogen can lead to a higher likelihood of getting Alzheimer's in women. Estrogen replacement therapy after menopause and use of certain groups of drugs, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cholesterol-lowering drugs may also impact Alzheimer’s risk.
During menopause, the ovaries stop producing the normal amount of estrogen, the more dominant female hormone, and progesterone. Although hormones are produced throughout the body, the most well-known production sites are the ovaries in women.
The ovaries produce estrogen, but the amount of the fat in the body is also responsible for the overall estrogen level.
High estrogen levels promote breast and ovarian cancers. A low level of estrogen and progesterone can lead to osteoporosis, heart disease, and hormone related cancer. Adequate cholesterol is essential for the production of adequate level of hormones.
Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is an operation to remove a woman’s uterus. During the surgery, the doctor removes the uterus. She may also take out both the ovaries and fallopian tubes at the same time. This is done when the endometriosis has severely damaged ovaries, fallopian tubes and other abdominal organs.

400mg of frolic acid, Estrogen 0.3mg , Calcium 500mg, Magnesium, B6 & Vitamin E increases immunity.
After the surgery, female hormone is not produced. The absence of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone would effect the calcium deposit in the bone. This could result in bone fractures in light injuries or even Osteoporosis(the bone thinning, fragile and weak).
Each one of us loses bone with age. But when one starts losing large amounts of it, one develops Osteoporosis. Generally, Osteoporosis occurs after menopause. Estrogen is responsible for promoting the absorption of calcium and minimizing its rejection through the urine, stools or skin.
Gradual practice lifting some weight ensures more calcium deposit in the bones increasing the mineral density following menopause preventing Osteoporosis in women.
