It is quite normal to have memory lapses from time to time. For example, forgetting where you put your car keys, you don’t remember the time of an appointment or forget to buy some items at the grocery store. These kinds of memory problems occur most of the time when you are preoccupied. In fact, they might be signs of a normal brain that's constantly prioritizing, sorting, storing, and retrieving all types of information according to the National Institute on Aging.

Indeed, from the age of 65, the brain loses its ability (partially) to store new information. Thus, if you are 65 or older, you may forget the names of people you have met. Sometimes, you may even be unable to recall what you ate a few hours ago; however, you will perfectly recall events that have marked your life. Apart from these natural phenomena, there are abnormal memory loss, which disrupt daily life.

Some major causes of memory loss are:

• Medications - Some anti-anxiety medications, antidepressants, some medications used to treat schizophrenia and sleeping pills can affect the reception and transmission of information.
• Alcohol Abuse and drugs - Heavy alcohol use and certain drugs can change chemicals in the brain that affect memory.
• Depression and Anxiety - These disorders disrupt the overall daily functioning. Moreover, it is more difficult to retain information when you are depressed.
• Hypothyroidism - The inadequate functioning of the thyroid gland can slow the intellectual functions and causes memory disorders
• Brain lesions - The stroke and brain tumors can damage the neurons responsible for intellectual functions.
• Malnutrition or Vitamin deficiencies - Deficiencies of B vitamins can affect memory. Most of the times, the problem is solved once you increase your B complex intake.
• Sleep deprivation - can adversely affect brain function and cause, eventually, memory loss
• Certain diseases - Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Parkinson's Disease, Encephalitis and Meningitis, Wilson's disease , Lewy body disease, Pick Disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, etc. may cause memory dysfunction.

Useful practical advice

Small Techniques - If you suffer from memory loss, take some good habits: always put your keys in the same place; learn to note what you do not want to forget; speak loudly to yourself, etc.

Learning to relax - The stress and daily concerns can affect your memory. Book yourself time to relax each day.

Keep the brain fit - Many recent studies show that a sustained intellectual activity throughout lifetime may help protect against Alzheimer's disease. Read a lot, do crossword puzzles, playing Scrabble ... short, feed your brain

Exercise regularly - Some research suggests that physical activity can also stimulate memory. Adopt an activity (biking, swimming, walking, etc.) and practice it at least three times a week for 20 minutes each time.

Looking for support- Memory impairment can be a sign of Alzheimer disease; do not hesitate to contact the Alzheimer Society in your area. You'll find support and advice.

Nutrition for your memory – many studies confirm that vitamins B12, folic acid and anti-oxidant are effective for treating memory loss. Increase them in your daily diet.
