Consult your health-care provider. There are things you can do right now to improve your memory,regardless of age. 1. Use Your Strengths. Not all aspects of memory show a downward course with aging. It is important to know that we can compensate for most problems by using memory strengths, which vary from person to person.
Some people excel at remembering names.
Other people are good at remembering small details. It is unrealistic to expect to remember everything. You may not remember someone's name at a party. But you may be good at remembering a face. In such a situation, you can still greet someone you recognize, even if you do not remember the name.
