Being forgetful shouldn’t be always connected to a disease, such as dementia or Alzheimer’s. This issue can be a sign for you that you are actually a pretty intelligent and smart person.

A research team from the University of Toronto and SickKids Hospital decided to prove that this problem isn’t so bad. They attempted to discover the connection between forgetfulness and brain health and function.

It seems that the memories that we own are making us as intelligent as we are. We have to forget some information and make room in order to face new events and circumstances.

The brain actually spends a lot of energy when you occupy it with new information. It can be challenging to keep learning new stuff. This means that if you keep forgetting things, you will be spending much time on something that eventually will be forgotten.

However, according to the scientists, there are good reasons to being forgetful. This “issue” can actually come in handy.

As we are growing older, there are constantly new things that we need to acknowledge and learn, which means that everything that is getting older becomes less important and significant. That is why we need to make space in our brain for new information. It can become harder to cope with some circumstances if you are constantly bringing memories into your mind.
