You have mild short-term memory problems
Though your memory is generally good, you sometimes have trouble recalling recent events. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, a diet that lacks adequate vitamins and supplements, low blood sugar and not getting enough exercise may be contributing to your minor forgetfulness. Memory retrieval also slows down as you age, but this doesn't mean the memories aren't still there -- you just need to work harder to remember them.

There are tricks that can help to give your memory a boost by improving your concentration and focus. Try the quick ways to boost your brainpower from Female and Forgetful: A Six-Step Program to Help Restore Your Memory and Sharpen Your Mind by Elisa Lottor, Ph.D., N.D., and Nancy Bruning to help sharpen your memory when you have trouble recalling a fact or finding something you've misplaced.
