According to Oscar Wilde, “Memory is
the diary that we all carry with us.” Though, in this fast-moving age, it’s
immensely difficult to keep this diary intact. Since, today, we’re surrounded
with too much information. It’s like the world is bombarding us with floods of information
each second. And, it’s not possible at all to keep our memory fresh and
healthy. Therefore, these days, we often see that people are concerned
regarding their memory loss; they try different methods to improve their
memory, and keep it healthy like a scientist…
Our brain filters information – constantly. It just
remembers those things which appear important, or have some significant value.
It’s a total natural act. And, of course, you can blame it, in case you’ve a
poor memory. But, this is rather common; it usually happens with those who work
in a tense environment, or deal with too many things at once.
If you’re also involved in too many things, or if your job
demands immense concentration, over and over, don’t be afraid if you forget
things over and over… It’s normal…
Before delving deeper into this subject and discovering its
cure, first, it’s pertinent to comprehend some of its causes. The most common
ones are lack-of-sleep, alcohol, stress, anxiety, depression, medications, and
etc. Other than that, some severe cases can cause bad memory too, such as, nutritional
deficiency, head injury, stroke, and etc.
Apart from this, professional
researchers have found some uncommon factors as well that act as memory killers
in the long run – obesity, smoking, diabetes, physical inactivity, and high
blood pressure. On the whole, anything can crumble you with an iron fist.
That’s why, rather than getting worried regarding memory issue, focus more on
its cure. Perform those things which can improve your memory and make you
appear intelligent like a scientist.
Initially, banish the common causes of your life – anxiety,
depression, lack-of-sleep, alcohol, and etc. After that, have those foods which
contain brain-boosting antioxidants, such as, blue berries, spinach, kale, and
leafy green vegetables. Second, try meditation; it’s not only soothing for your
body, but also elevate the status of your brain, and impel it to work in first-rate
condition. Time and time again, the experts have confirmed that meditation
improves our concentration and focus, and allow the information to flow
smoothly in your brain, which is immensely beneficial for our memory.
Next, break the standard patterns of your brain. Sometimes,
the similar patterns, and routines, intoxicate the brain and impel it to forget
those things, which aren’t the part of active life. When you take the different
approach, try new things, use different route, or try new dresses, or words,
you exercise the muscles of your brain, and force it to strengthen the
short-term memory – especially – so that it can commute with the different
daily tasks.
Furthermore, there are some small activities that can polish
your memory even more. For example, visit some new place – each month, watch
documentaries, read books, have fun with puzzles and etc. Besides, increase the
social power, meet new people, and make some interesting friends. The more you
elevate the standards of your life, and break the standard patterns of it, the
more your brain learns to consume information in a better way.
