How do You Keep Your Memory?

Sometimes, search our mind for memory is a road map to loss synapse. It's the nature of memory loss.

Memory loss can be caused by aging, disease, brain injury, or just from everyday stress. Sometimes, memory loss is temporary cause by lack of sleep. 

Some medical treatments are also known to cause temporary memory loss and disturbances. But do remember that substance abuse also causes memory problems. Think about the amount of alcohol you consume last.

We all agin. M
emory just wears off over all that time. Time is harsh. Nerve cells decrease in function and some die out. These are natural causeing to aging that we wouldn't want to admit. The only difference is how fast an individual ages. That translates to how long one can remain good brain function and memory. We want to slow down that process.

How? One way is, big secret, is to stay healthy. For disease of the brain that cause memory loss, that can be varied, but depression and other mental illness are known to cause memory loss.

Memory loss due to injury to the brain is also very well known.  It can be very selective because it depends on what part of the brain got injured. 
Memory is formed by a process called plasticity in nerve cells. Therefore, when a specific part of the brain is damaged, memory stored in that part to be omitted. That makes you special right? If you'd like to think so. 

Simple Ways to Improve Memory

There is something note by neurologists as "non use" dementia.  Learn new things, solve new problems and stay active.



Many people report that "brain exercise" does help maintain good brain function and memory retention.  An elder friend of mine at Toastmasters International said that she is sworn by its effectiveness. She plays memory-aid video games religiously every day. And she is hopeful and finds it very enjoying.

Bouncing back from heavy stress can help you avoid repetitive memory problems. And so is lack of sleep. So, at the least, keep stress low and sleep well. The incentive for feeling joyous all day and sleeping well through the night is bounty.

Several ingredients in most daily multi-vitamins do help with memory. Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 did help me regain sanity at a time when constant memory problems really became bothersome. They helped almost immediately.

I always believe in a good diet. Now as memory problem becomes a matter of concern, I am forever more believe in good nutrition and daily nourishment. I see the harm of chronic starvation from an imbalance diet. I am not obedient to a good diet. 

Do you think that relaxation techniques and meditation would help? Please leave me some thoughts belove. And Share. Thanks.

  11. The key is to try to get organized.

    And relax. Sometimes we just need to take a few seconds to just be.

    We're such a fast-paced world that we get carried away with things.
