Those who live in industrialized countries have easy access to healthy food and nutritional supplements, but magnesium deficiencies are still common. That's a problem because new research from Tel Aviv University suggests that magnesium, a key nutrient for the functioning of memory, may be even more critical than previously thought for the neurons of children and healthy brain cells in adults.
Dr. Inna Slutsky of TAU's Sackler School of Medicine published results of a 5-year probe which has significant implications for the use of over-the-counter magnesium supplements.

You need to forget stuff.
That way you remember what is important.
People don’t forget that fire is bad to touch. That is because they forgot other stuff.

At my place of work, I fielded a call from a lady with the last name
similar to Dr. Slutsky.
When, in disbelief, I asked her to repeat her name, she laughed and
said “Don’t worry sir, my last name does inspire a lot of laughter!”.
Ummmm. I had a great reply just a second ago....what was I going to say?
If magnesium gets to the brain, you have a toxicity problem that often leads to ...
Dementia!
Dr. Slutsky advises people to get their magnesium the old-fashioned way — by eating lots of green leaves, broccoli, almonds, cashews and fruit. The effects on memory won't appear overnight, she cautions, but with this persistent change in diet, memory should improve, and the effects of dementia and other cognitive impairment diseases related to aging may be considerably delayed
Darn. Hate them green thingys.

I'd hit it.
Three elderly men are at the doctor’s office for a memory test. The doctor asks the first man, “What is three times three?” “274,” is his reply.
The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second man, “It’s your turn. What is three times three?” “Tuesday,” replies the second man.
The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, “Okay, your turn. What’s three times three?” “Nine,” says the third man. “That’s great!” says the doctor. “How did you get that?” “Simple,” he says, “just subtract 274 from Tuesday.”
