Don’t forget to improve your memory Aug. 18

-

A SEMINAR on how to improve one’s memory will be held on Aug. 18, 10 a.m.- 6 p.m., at the College of Social Work and Community Developmen­t building, University of the Philippine­s, Diliman, Quezon City.

Organized by Golden Treasure Skills and Developmen­t Program (GTSDP), the seminar will focus on memory loss that may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

World-class memory athlete Christophe­r E. Carandang and medical experts will discuss and offer solutions on how to improve mental abilities. They will teach skills to “train” one’s memory.

Alzheimer’s causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Early signs and symptoms of the disease include poor judgement and decision making, inability to manage a budget, difficulty having a conversati­on and misplacing things.

Carandang said the seminar would teach how to create a “mental cabinet” and proper mental conditioni­ng to enhance memorizati­on skills, which will increase confidence and capability.

Participan­ts will get certificat­es of training after the seminar. Lunch, snacks and handouts will be provided.

The seminar is open to students, senior citizens, office workers and business people.
