Struggling with your memory? Do you keep forgetting something? It could be that your memory is just not strong enough. Aging, head injury, illness or adverse reactions to certain drugs can reduce brain function and increase memory loss. But if you consistently train your brain, you will be able to improve your memory, restore your brain health and minimize the risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
Your brain is the most complex part of our body. It consists of 100 billion neurons that are linked to one another in a very complex pattern. Keeping your brain active, keeps your neurons communicating with one another consistently, thus, giving you a powerful memory.
There are 2 kinds of memory, short-term and long-term.
Short-term memory is also termed as the primary or active memory. It is the information that you are aware of now or thinking about currently. It is also the temporary storage of information in memory. For example, if you are looking for the phone number of a friend. Once you were given the number, you memorized it and wrote it on a piece of paper. When asked what the number was after a few minutes, you probably won't remember because the information was stored in short-term memory. Long-term memory is the information that has already been retained in your memory and it acts like a permanent storage. Your ability to learn because of the experiences you had is because of your long-term memory.
