1. Play video games and brain-training apps
This scientific recommendation might make you laugh, especially if your parents told you to stop playing too many video games when you were young. However, a 2017 study in the journal Behavioral Brain Research concluded that various video games actually improve the functioning of various memory-related areas in the brain. Studies have cited improvements in areas such as semantic memory that affect your overall ability to recall knowledge. While you don't want to play video games for hours every day when you're trying to run a business, exercising your brain is a good regular pastime. If you're not a fan of video games, consider brain training and memory apps instead when you have a break or downtime. Studies have shown that it helps prevent cognitive decline and may even reduce the risk of dementia. Examples of potentially useful brain training apps include Luminosity, Cognition, Brain Fitness, and Clockwork Brain. You can also try crossword, word search, and image search apps.
2. Develop mnemonics that are useful for memory
Mnemonics don't just help you get information. You can actually improve your brain. Indeed, a 2017 study in the journal Neuron revealed that mnemonic training activities reshape the brain at the physical level. They do this by creating a new cognitive network connection that improves memory function. With so many mnemonic activities to choose from, you can find one or more activities that suit your personal or business interests. You can create or adopt mnemonics including music, words, names, notes
and rhymes. For example, you can create a mnemonic by taking the first letter of each word on your list of things to remember at work and naming it the person or thing. So if you want to remember the colors of the spectrum in a certain order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), you can use the name ROY G.BIV. Create or customize almost any mnemonic, including employee or project lists, competitors, or just shopping lists. By creating and practicing mnemonics, you actually strengthen your mental ability to form, retain, and recall the important knowledge and facts you need to keep your business up to date.
3. Exercise regularly
Mental training will definitely help improve your memory, but physical training is also important. Studies of cognitive science trends have shown that sedentary lifestyles appear to promote memory loss, while physical activity stimulates memory maintenance and improvement. Several research studies have found that regular physical activity improves cognitive abilities, including memory. The results include improvements in brain function due to exercise time and intensity, resulting in more balanced hormonal function while stimulating petrochemical changes that keep the
brain sharp. Create a weekly training program that fits your work schedule and your tastes and skills. Find fun things like running, basketball, walking, hiking, swimming, basketball, etc. that can involve others, colleagues and colleagues. This can help you stick to your schedule. Alternatively, you can hire a personal trainer or attend the gym.
4. Reduce stress
Studies show that some people diagnosed with dementia have no
dementia at all. Rather, intense and long-term stress impaired memory and other cognitive abilities. Stress can impair various memory functions, including short-term memory and autobiographical memory. According to the latest research, the stress hormone cortisol can overwhelm the memory banks of the brain and reduce recall and cognition. By incorporating mindfulness-based stress relief, study participants I was able to regain memory function and even improve it. These methods include meditation,careful thinking, reflection, and a diary. Delegate when you feel overwhelmed and find other ways to reduce stress by avoiding negative situations and people and minimizing dangerous situations.
5. Eat vegetables and fruits
A Harvard Medical School study concludes that men can improve their memory by eating more vegetables and fruits. In a large survey, nearly 28,000 men in their early 50s answered questions every four years for 20 years. The question was (among other lifestyle factors) about how many servings of vegetables, fruits, and other types of food they ate each day.Participants also completed a four-year test to assess their thinking and memory skills leading up to the end of the study. When the study was completed, the man was in his early 70s. Men who ate 6 servings of vegetables and fruits daily did not lose their thinking as often as men who ate less than 2 servings daily. Each serving represents either 1 cup of whole fruit or raw vegetables, 1/2 cup of fruit juice, or 2 cups of leafy vegetables. Scientists involved in this study believed that antioxidants and bio active substances, including vitamins A, B, C, E, and carotids, flavoring, and polyphony, help reduce oxidative stress in the brain. .. This stress can lead to age-related memory loss.
