Me and Short Term Memory Loss


It's kinda embarrassing for me to say that it's my story that I am a forgetful person. Well now it's explained how my daughter being a forgetful person too. lol. I also wrote about her if you wanna read in HERE. You can translate into your language there.

So back again, many things can be as example but some of them are; I do sometime forgot that my friend in office just passed through my desk to go out, even they have talked with me before leave but innocently I could say when other friend asked that she was in her room. Or when I saw the boss in his room I could say the person at phone that he didn't come yet! That's very bad. The worse is now I loss memory for seconds when I have to mention some name :(. I think I got a short term memory loss or Short Memory Syndrome (SMS)




But wait, I don't think i had a traumatic from head crash or been hit. I do sometime wonder what is it? is there any connection with focus? now I wanna know what is SMS about. Searched and see this,

"Short-term memory (or "primary" or "active memory") is the capacity for holding a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time. The duration of short-term memory (when rehearsal or active maintenance is prevented) is believed to be in the order of seconds. A commonly cited capacity is 7 ± 2elements. In contrast, long-term memory can hold an indefinite amount of information.
Short-term memory should be distinguished from working memory, which refers to structures and processes used for temporarily storing and manipulating information " - Wikipedia


So, the symptoms of forgetfulness in the relatively young age have a medical term that is known by the name Short Term Memory Loss or Short Memory Syndrome (SMS) it makes sufferers (which is me) forget action freshly made and other things that just happened in an instant. Conditions of people with SMS can be equated with dementia that occurs in older people (well I am:D). SMS is caused by a decrease in memory so that the sufferer immediately eliminates record information received brain memory.
Some trigger this condition include:
  1. The existence of today's technology increasingly sophisticated so that the muscles and the brain is no longer used optimally so that the memory is reducing.
  2. The existence of a high workload at a young age.
  3. Blood circulation to the brain is disrupted.

This is even scary.. blood circulation to the brain is disrupted? 
I read a stress hormone linked to SMS for older adult, animal tested. Hmm.. this is interesting. Hope there is way to at least decrease it. I don't wanna be completely forgetful in my older later anyway.

I also heard some game can stimulate our brain like puzzle and crossword, maybe now I should consider to play it rather a building game in Facebook :p (what? there are strategic too!)
What about food? some common said that eat healthy (without MSG of courseand punctually are good for body. I just realized lately I'm lack of fiber or vegetables. But how to prevent junk food? I have to keep it away too. Can i? 
Now I even thinking about burger and much mayonnaise inside. Yummm...
Btw, who am I? #lol
