Ever been a situation where forget stuffs to be done or said? "This was what i wanted to write down in the exam but it was all fog up there, damn!! why couldn't I remember" Ever been in such a situation? Let's work together to prevent MEMORY LOSS
It’s common to experience a little brain fog as we age, but much like
muscles, the more exercise you give your brain, the stronger it will be.
And you don't need any crazy products or regiments to stay sharp: these
simple lifestyle tips can keep your brain young for years.
Practice brain games, crossword puzzles, and memory exercises that stress verbal skills.
Enrich your diet with plenty of omega-3 fats, low-glycemic index
carbohydrates (e.g., whole grains) and antioxidants. And consider eating
several smaller meals throughout the day. Eating five small meals
prevents dips in blood glucose levels, and glucose is the primary energy
source for the brain.
Take brisk walks each day and do stretching exercises. Increased cardio
can make your brain actually grow, with more white matter and more
neuron connections.
Stretching and relaxation exercises help keep anxiety in check. Stress
causes the body to release cortisol, and cortisol has been found to
shrink the memory centers in the brain, which results in impaired
memory. Meditation has also been proven to substantially improve memory
Iron helps the neurotransmitters essential to memory function
properly—and your body may be sensitive to low amounts. In one study,
women low in iron missed twice as many memory questions as women with
adequate levels.
Now this is unbelievable, but it does work.

to recall either later. When you attend to multiple tasks, the brain
switches processing to another region that retains fewer details. Focus
on one task at a time to keep a perfect recollection of each one.
The plaque buildup caused by high cholesterol doesn’t only damage the
veins of your heart: blockage of the blood vessels in your brain can
deprive it of valuable nutrients, and cue memory problems. And it
doesn’t take much plaque to block the tiny vessels; so check your
cholesterol levels regularly.
Many prescription drugs can affect your memory, and the older you are,
the longer drugs stay in your system. Drugs that can cause memory lapses
include antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, beta-blockers,
chemotherapy, Parkinson’s drugs, sleeping pills, painkillers,
antihistamines, and statins.

| THE POWER OF APPLE |
… to keep the neurologist away. Apples have enough antioxidants to raise
acetylcholine, which is an essential neurotransmitter for memory. The
same antioxidants can also protect your brain from harmful free
radicals.
Red wine contains the compound resveratrol, which may help ward off
Alzheimer’s disease. Its ability to lower cholesterol levels also helps
prevent that plaque buildup in your entire body, including your brain.(N.B. Be sure to buy the original red wine not adulterated and fake wines)

never look at a banana the same way again after discovering the many
health benefits and reasons to add them to your diet. Bananas combat
depression, make you smarter, cure hangovers, relieve morning sickness,
protect against kidney cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and blindness.

shoes.
