Memory is the recalling and recapitulating capacity of a person. The brain and the computer work in similar fashion to store day to day happenings, incidents and visuals. When a person’s brain is fresh he is able to store more information and remember the matter for long. Everyone, starting from a child to an elderly person has an emotional overload that in the modern language is sometimes called –‘tension.’ And this leads to some degree of pre-occupation. Pre-occupation destroys the momentary pleasures that are etched in our daily memory diary and we tend to become forgetful. As the Italian poet and critic, Cesare Pavese said, “We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.” Treating your body well can enhance your ability to process and recall information. Physical exercise increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. One of the most popular ADHD prescription drugs Adderall is used by some students to enhance memory and concentration. Exercise may also enhance the effects of helpful brain chemicals and protect brain cells. Humans are highly social animals. We’re not meant to thrive, let alone thrive, in isolation. Relationships stimulate our brains—in fact, interacting with others may be the best kind of brain exercise. Elderly people’s loss of memory power is related to physiological changes in the brain due to hardening of arteries due to age. Forgetfulness is a common occurrence in today’s fast paced life. Forgetting birthdays,wedding anniversaries or an important meeting time is common among those who tend to multi-task and burn their candles from both ends.
