Minnesota Study Finds Men Lose Their Memory Faster Than Women

There are many times that I search frantically for my sun glasses only to realize that they are on my head.

Every once-in-awhile it will make me stop and think "maybe I'm losing my mind." But, then I remember that I'm only 24, and it's just another case of forgetfulness, not Alzheimer's disease ... and it helps that I'm a woman.

A new study from the Mayo Clinic Foundation in Minnesota found that memory loss is a side effect of aging and it's worse for men especially after the age of 40. According to the study, estrogen helps fight memory loss.

Guys, if you think your wife or girlfriend remembers everything, it's because she probably does. Or, maybe it's that you aren't remembering as much.

Perhaps you can use this as an excuse for forgetting to do the dishes or take out the garbage.
