Forgetfulness at 31 – too early for memory loss? Why can’t I remember things?
I’m 31 & having problems with memory. I’ve been forgetting peoples’ names, people I’ve met more than once. I meet them again and it takes me a few minutes to figure out how they are connected to me. I’ll get up from a room to do something and then get distracted, or totally forget what I left the room for until a few minutes later. At first I thought it was because I was tired or stressed. I work in the music industry and meet a lot of people, so I used that as an excuse too. But last night I ran into an old friend I hadn’t seen in about a year, and I totally forgot how we met or who she was, until I met a mutual friend who finally helped me make the connection. This is starting to get scary. Not good for business either. Is there any way to cure forgetfulness or memory loss? I’m too young to be stressed over this. Please any advice I’ll gladly take.
There are several herbs and other supplements that have been used to restore and enhance specific brain specific functions including:
Ginkgo for memory
Omega 3 Fatty Acids for Brain Function
5 HTP for mood therapy
Aromatherapy for Brain Power
Zinc for mental clarity
Ginseng for alertness
Also try getting enough sleep. Eating a balanced diet and exercise. Research has also shown that listening to Classical music improves brain function.
How I remember names, because I have the same trouble, I think of something funny that goes along with their name, like a rhyme or a TV character then word associate. Like my friend Sabrina. I think of Sabrina the witch or my co worker Maggie Saggie. I know its mean, but believe me it helps. Just remember not to say everything your thinking out loud, because its not nice to say “Who killed Kenny” to a man named Kenny.
