A major cause of forgetfulness in the young
and not so young is having too much on their minds. With cell phones,
computers, email, Web pages, and other modern technology, we have worked
ourselves into a non-stop frenzy.
Here are some easy tips to help you cope:
1. Focus on listening more and talking
less. Listening requires greater concentration.
2. Avoid hanging around negative people.
Thinking positive stimulates the brain as well as brightens your day.
3. Stick to a healthy diet of protein
foods, fruit and veggies. It gives you brain power.
4. Avoid high fat foods. Fat clogs the
arteries that supply blood to the brain.
5. Take vitamins, especially vitamin E,
zinc and Ginko Baloba. Some tests show this can help aging and memory.
6. Read, read, read and do crossword
puzzles. It's exercise for the brain.
7. Avoid excessive alcohol. Too much may
result in loss of brain cells.
8. Plan activities with others.
Socialization offsets brain laziness.
9. Avoid unnecessary medication. Losing
weight, lowering blood pressure and high cholesterol levels can often be
achieved through diet and exercise instead of drugs. Learn the side effects of
medication you take. Some types of sleep aids may cause memory loss.
10. Maintain a daily exercise and workout
schedule. It improves blood circulation to the brain.
