Hi, I'm having a constant short memory loss problems, like I can't hold basic information in my mind for 2-10 minutes.
It's different if I'm constantly concentrated on it, then is OK. Please advise which type of food should I increase or mental practices to improve my short time memory. Thank You.

Its not a matter of what food you eat..short term memory like that means your brain is busy processing things you don't want to think about...start opening up your mind and addressing your underlying problems and anxieties, and your memory will come back.
