Forgetfulness may be a normal sign of aging, or a warning sign of a condition such as Alzheimer’s disease.

In case of the former, the National Institute on Aging suggests how to help sharpen your memory:

• Create lists or use a calendar.
• Associate what you want to remember with something meaningful, such as a favorite song or TV show.
• Engage in new hobbies that challenge you physically and mentally.
• Get plenty of regular exercise.
• Limit alcohol consumption.
• Find healthy ways to manage anxiety and stress, and see a doctor if you struggle with these feelings.
