Once upon a time it was believed that the function of the brain reaches its peak in early adulthood and then slowly decreases, which leads to errors in memory and so-called brain fog. It is now known that modern lifestyle plays a significant role in reducing the cognitive abilities of a human, so exposure to toxins, chemicals, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, stress and much more can actually hinder the functioning of the brain. We bring you the best techniques to improve memory, regardless of your age.
1. Eat right
The food you eat or don’t eat, plays a crucial role for your brain. Badly needed fresh vegetables and healthy fats, but avoid sugar and grain carbs. For example, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and walnuts contain antioxidants and other compounds that protect the health of your brain and can even stimulate the production of new brain cells.
2. Engage in physical education
Physical exercise stimulates the brain to work at optimum capacity, giving the nerve impulse cells to multiply and strengthening existing relationships, as well as protecting them from damage. During exercise nerve cells release proteins known as neurotrophic factors. They produce many other chemicals that promote neural health and directly benefit cognitive functions, including learning abilities.
3. Ensure a good night’s sleep
Sleep enhances your memories and helps you “practice” and improve your coping skills. In fact, one night of sleep, according to scientists, for only 4-6 hours can negatively affect your ability to think clearly the next day.
4. Play brain games
If you are not train your brain with new, surprising information, it eventually begins to deteriorate. However, research in the field of plasticity of the brain show that by providing him with appropriate incentives, can you resist brain degeneration.
5. Master new skills
Participation in “purposeful and significant actions” stimulates your neurological system, inhibits the effects of stress diseases, reduces the risk of dementia and enhances health and well-being. A key factor necessary for improving brain function or stop the process of functional downgrading is the seriousness of the purpose to which you aspire. In other words, the problem in the first place should be important to you as important or interesting, thus holding your attention in a constant tone.
