Hi

I constantly have people asking me about memory. ... 

Why do I forget things? Why do I forget what I just read?

How can I make my memory better?

How does the photographic memory fit into this?

Short term memory vs long term memory?

What is the hippocampus and what does it do?

What happens if you lose your memories? It often happens to people that are elderly. It also happens to people at any age and for many different reasons. Your brain is highly complex and makes trillions of connections each day. It is easy to see how something so complex could easily be derailed.

The best solution are activities that can prevent a complete collapse if things should take a turn for the worse. You can exercise your brain to be stronger. It has been scientifically proven that when you exercise and stress your brain past the threshold of neural plasticity, it triggers your brain to immediately respond by building new pathways, synapse, neurons, and memory. Building this within your brain makes it resilient; resistant to memory loss, Alzheimer's Disease, and dementia.

I recently was interviewed on the topic of "Taking Control of Your Memory". If you are interested at all in memory, you should listen to this interview. It could be the most important thing you have ever heard.
