This blog is an investigation of what difference it makes if I can remember every day that passes. It also explores the science around memory and the role of intermittent fasting in delaying memory loss and other effects of ageing.

Collective memory failure
I met friends in Southbeach a few weeks ago (okay, 24 February - I might as well be specific, now that I can).
We tried to remember the details of our meeting up over recent years, what we had done, where we had walked.
It was hard. Events merged together and were misremembered. Collectively we could paint a fuller picture, but it was a little scary how much of the past was a mish-mash of vague snippets.
In the future I hope to be able to remember all we did this last time, even if reclaiming the memories from before I began this process remains a challenge.
