improve memory recall

According to modern science, there are three quick ways to increase the amount of memory and improve brain health. This site writes to share care Rose Gaez.





The journalist talked to a medical doctor Ifteharam Ahmed - neurologist from Research Medical Center in Kansas City (USA). Scientist gives three pieces of advice.





Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels





Maintaining the level of cholesterol in a healthy range - not too low and not too high - can help prevent senile prydurkavatasts, called dementsyyay.





According to Dr. Ahmed, the brain cells to maintain their integrity need cholesterol, but if your total cholesterol is below normal, mebrany cells can break.





On the other hand, if the cholesterol is too high, small blood vessels in the brain zakuporvatstsa, whereby the supply of oxygen is blocked. This can cause damage to the brain and nerve cells, resulting in the risk of memory loss and other problems nevralyagichnyh.





Regular Patsyry

Walking has a number of health benefits, Dr. Ahmed said.





Walking improves dexterity, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, increases blood circulation, and protects from damage the arteries. These beneficial effects are indirectly helping memory and heart health.





During the walk there is a development of hormones dopamine and adrenaline, which are particularly necessary for the functioning of the brain, and remembering.





Dr. Ahmed says that regular walks will be even more useful if you invite them to a boyfriend or girlfriend. Social connections can reduce the risk of depression and anxiety, improve confidence and ability to learn new information.





Regular Reading





Scientist of Kansas City said that if the cognitive function of the brain is not used or trained, it is reduced, degraded and lost. Continuous education and training at any age may protect against prydurkavatastsi and even slow its effects, if it is already there.





In one recent study, researchers found that those older people who regularly read, visit the library and constantly write letters, have a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease.





The doctor advises to read on a regular basis and even record their impressions from reading.





For pensioners it is very important to be involved in real life. Social contacts, reading and exercise really contribute to brain health and life continues.
