Used to have excellent memory but now just forget stuff easily what should i do?
Your "critical period" is probably passing. The average person reaches their memory's peak in their 20s.

well, it would depend on your age...if you are older, such as 60+, you may need to see a doc about beginning stages of alheizmers or dementia. if you are younger...there are home remedies (check online or with your doctor) and there are over-the-counter medicines that can help. i am 25, and with all the stress i am under, i have increasingly began to forget things. it happens. go to a nutritional store and ask them, they have supplements that can improve memory...good luck.

There are so many activities that you can involve to boost your memory. Out of them meditation is considered the best. For more details refer this article:
lol to the guy above me ... um....I have to write everything down...the more muscles you use when you're trying to remember something the more likely you are to remember it. Say, you're studying and you read something, you'd be more likely to remember it if you read it outloud, or even more likely if you read it, read it outloud, then write it down.
plus you'd have it written down...so you could read it later if you forget anyway.

keep a small notebook handy and a pen. start writing things down and remember to look at the notes.

See your doctor there may be a reason for it.

I'd tell ya, but you wouldn't remember anyway.

>> Ginko & Fish Oil are supposed to help with improving memory. Try some crosswords/brainteasers ~ the brain/mind is like a muscle ~ The more challenges we give it, the stronger it will be. Maybe a doctors checkup may help also.
Ciao!

Play lots of word games and number games. Talk to your doc to make sure there is no problem there.

Be able to laugh about it like I do. No sense in worrying about something you probably can't control.

Normal aging and memory loss
Normal age-related memory loss doesn't prevent you from living a full and productive life. You just need more time to remember a name or the task you had set out to do. You're aware that you're forgetful and may even joke about it.
People with memory loss due to something other than normal aging, such as Alzheimer's disease, may feel that something's not quite right, but they're unable to pinpoint what's bothering them. Rather than call attention to a memory lapse, they may behave as if everything is fine.
Alzheimer's disease and memory loss
Memory loss associated with Alzheimer's gets worse over time, but it certainly is not the only symptom of the disease. Some of the earliest signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include:
Asking the same questions repeatedly
Difficulty remembering common words when speaking
Mixing words up — saying "bed" instead of "table," for example
Being unable to complete familiar tasks, such as following a recipe
Misplacing items in inappropriate places, such as putting a wallet in the refrigerator
Getting lost while driving on familiar streets
Undergoing sudden changes in mood or behavior for no apparent reason
Becoming less able to follow directions
Reversible causes of memory loss
Many other medical problems cause symptoms similar to Alzheimer's. That's why it's so important to consult a doctor if you've noticed memory lapses or uncharacteristic mood swings in yourself or in someone close to you. The problem may be a potentially reversible illness, such as depression, a metabolic disorder such as hypothyroidism, a reaction to a drug, or a vitamin deficiency
