If sometimes you can't find the  keys or can't remember the name of a known person don't get too worried about it. You can improve your memory. Apart from physical activity in your daily routine there are a few simple steps to sharpen your memory that will allow you to remain mentally active.
Here are some important steps:

1. Mental exercise stimulates  cognition so  do mentally stimulating activities which help to improve memory such as:   
        ⦁ do crossword puzzles or sudoku
        ⦁ read newspapers and books 
        ⦁  try unfamiliar activities out of your comfort zone

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables that can also help reduce the risk of many diseases

3. Stay organized, put everything in it's place as soon as you can and don't try to do too many things at once .

4. Socialize whenever you can: stress, anxiety and depression can contribute to memory loss.
