More often , memory lapses occur in older people who completely forget where they put their glasses, what they did in the recent past or what they were going to do. But similar phenomena can occur in middle-aged people, and sometimes even among young people. Such incidents are attributed to fatigue, great employment, and with the approach of fifty years of age, they see the first signs of impending old age in them. Is it so?
Everyone remembers how surprised Dr. Watson was when he learned that Sherlock Holmes did not know basic things. He did not think about the fact that the earth revolves around the sun and never heard of Dickens known to all. What did Holmes answer him? He compared the human brain with an empty attic, on which everyone will drag everything he pleases. A smart person will always keep him in order and will not clog up with unnecessary trash. This information was simply not required by the great detective, and he did not begin to clog his brain with it.
Remarkably, modern science today confirms this theory. Scientists say that memory lapses over the years are not an inevitable consequence of age. It’s difficult for a person to impede the flow of unnecessary information accumulating over the years. Remember the great scientists whose distraction has already become a household word. It should be said about some other external and internal factors that affect our brain and cause memory lows. Alcohol is the enemy of our brain, the most destructive way affecting all its processes. If you are still young enough, do not abuse alcohol, but it happens that memory fails, perhaps these are the first signs of the development of serious diseases. Constant stress, chronic fatigue, post-traumatic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cerebrovascular accidents and various cardiovascular pathologies can cause memory lapses.
If they are single and very short-term, do not cause serious fears and do not interfere with normal life, you can start with the usual ways to improve the functionality of brain processes. Treatment of memory loss should begin with a complete rejection of all bad habits, the formation of a balanced diet and the right regime. If you try to avoid stress and other situations that cause severe chronic fatigue, the problem will soon disappear.
Memory needs help. The best charge for the mind is the constant repetition of "passed" material. Refresh your memory with photos, letters, videos. Experts recommend compiling a list of necessary cases the next day, and in the evening check it. Going to bed, you can mentally scroll through all the events of the past day, stopping at the most important details. So they will be stored in memory for a long time. To remember a surname or phone number, you can resort to associations that are close to you. Constantly interested in life around him, events in the world, family affairs, this is not only fascinating, but also a very effective exercise for the mind. Discuss the information received with friends and acquaintances, read interesting books, solve various crosswords and puzzles. Constantly give the brain the opportunity to develop, take by storm new intellectual frontiers, for example, study foreign languages. Try not to lock yourself in. New friends will bring a lot of fresh emotions into your life and fill it with interesting and useful information.
It is never too late to start a memory loss treatment. Even if the problems appeared a long time ago, you can significantly slow down the process. Do not forget about proper nutrition. Eat more vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts. For optimal brain function, good blood supply is needed. Provide it to him by adding multivitamins and minerals, fish oil, phosphatidylserine and vitamin E to your diet. For a better brain function, eat a carrot salad every day, with nuts and raisins, always seasoned with sour cream. This will greatly improve blood circulation and help renew brain cells.
