If you are frequently forgetting appointments, names and items from your “to do list”, it’s time to give your memory a boost.
The US National Library of Medicine offers these suggestions to help strengthen your memory:
Health Tips
* Make associations between words or names. As the NLM puts it, “If Alex introduces you to Patty, you might remember them as A and P.”
* Relax if you forget something, and try again to think of it or let it come to you.
* Read, do crossword puzzles and play games to keep your brain active.
* When you want to remember something, repeat it out loud.
* Associate names with faces.
* Ask your doctor if any medications you take could be impairing your memory.
