Have you ever been in the situation of asking: what is the name of that movie in which that blonde, long-haired actress appears, who once appeared in that other action movie with that tall, bald actor? You know who I’m talking about, don’t you?
MORE INFORMATION:Do you want to increase your memory? Exercise your brain with these tips
It is said that from the age of 30 we generally begin to have little forgetfulness. The little forgetfulness they are occasional, are not important and have a slow evolution.
They are related to the recovery of information that we already have previously stored and do not prevent us from carrying out daily activities such as cooking, bathing or dressing.
For example, we don’t remember where we left the keys, the precise word to end a message, the day it is, or we forget some things we had to buy or send a message to someone.

Faced with this kind of forgetfulness we should not worry because they are not accompanied by other cognitive deficits. But although they do not affect our lives, they still end up generating anxiety.
Nutritionist Gerardo Bouroncle Mc Evoy, from corpolinear, points out that people mistakenly associate age with lack of memory or lack of some nutrient.
“Neurologists have verified that short-term memory loss is not due to age or because neurons die and do not regenerate, but rather due to a reduction in the number of connections between them,” Explain.
What should we do then?
The specialist recommends the following:
* Try once a week to shower with your eyes closed. Just by touch, locate the soap, the water keys, the shampoo. You will notice textures that you had never perceived.
* Use the hand that you do not dominate from time to time (if you are right-handed use the left). Eat, write, brush your teeth, open that drawer with the hand that is most difficult for you to use.
* Read in loud voice. Different circuits than the ones you use to read silently are activated.
* Change the route where you are going to work, or to return home.
Quicken the mind with puzzles.
* Modify your routine. Do different things, go out, meet and talk with people of different ages, jobs and ideologies. Go out to the field, walk, smell the fresh air.
* Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
* Change the location of some things. Knowing where everything is, the brain makes a map. Change, for example, the garbage can and you will realize that you instinctively throw away the paper in the same place.
* Learn a skill, like taking photos, cooking, doing yoga, learning a new language, or doing puzzles. Do an experiment and cover one eye, this causes the brain to lose depth perception, the brain will have to use other connection pathways.
* Identifies objects like coins, buttons, or any other similar, this will make you distinguish one from another. Likewise, putting different coins of different denominations sharpens perception and memory.
