Editing Forgetting (section)

==Overview==
Failing to retrieve an event does not mean that this specific event has been forever forgotten. Research has shown that there are a few health behaviors that to some extent can prevent forgetting from happening so often.<ref name="cardio">{{cite journal|author1=Szabo, A.

When the body is healthy the brain is healthy and less inflamed as well.<ref name="cardio" /> Older adults who were more active were found to have had less episodes of forgetting compared to those older adults who were less active. A healthy diet can also contribute to a healthier brain and aging process which in turn results in less frequent forgetting.<ref name="cardio" />
