Don’t you just hate it when you forget things? Everyone has a memory lapse sometimes, but forgetting things all the time is a big concern. In order to resolve these episodes of forgetfulness, you need to find the underlying cause first.
There are many factors which can make you forget things, and some of them are unbelievable.
HERE ARE THE MAIN REASONS WHY YOU FORGET THINGS:
MEDICATIONS
ALCOHOL
Drinking big amounts of alcohol often have been shown to cause memory loss.
TOBACCO
Smoking is a bad habit which can cause numerous health problems. It can also cut off the supply of oxygen to the brain and may hurt your memory.
DRUGS
Continuous use of drugs has been scientifically proven to cause changes in some chemical substances in the brain, which makes it difficult to remember things you should.
Insomnia and not enough sleep are can make you feel tired and may be the reason for your forgetfulness.
DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY
Depression and anxiety can make it difficult to focus on things and significantly affect your memory.
STRESS
Stress can affect your memory, especially if it’s caused by an emotional trauma.
POOR NUTRITION
A healthy diet is very important for the proper function of your brain. We recommend consuming foods rich in healthy fats and protein, and taking vitamin and mineral supplements every day.
AGING
Forgetting things becomes more frequent as you age. Aging also makes it harder to learn new information. However, it doesn’t cause significant memory loss unless it’s caused by a neurodegenerative disease.
