News India Live, Digital Desk: Has it ever happened to you that you were searching all over the house with the keys in your hand? Or you went to the kitchen and stood there thinking, “Hey! What did I come here to get?”
If your answer is ‘yes’, then there is no need to panic, you are not alone. In today’s busy and stressful life, our mind often starts ‘hanging’. Many of us think that memory loss is just a sign of old age, but the truth is that nowadays even 25-30 year old youth are complaining of “forgetting things”.
People say “Eat almonds, you will become wise,” but just eating almonds will not help. If you really want to sharpen your memory, you will have to make some small but powerful changes in your lifestyle. Let us know the secrets that can keep your brain super-active.
1. The brain also needs ‘sleep supplements’
We often compromise on our sleep due to work. But science says that our brain repairs itself only when we are in deep sleep. If you are not getting good sleep of 7-8 hours every day, then your memory is bound to become weak. Consider this as ‘charging time’ for your brain.
2. Never stop learning new things
Just as going to the gym builds muscles, similarly doing ‘brain exercise’ sharpens the memory. Don’t always stick to the same routine. Learn a new language, play Sudoku, complete a crossword, or learn to play a musical instrument. When you challenge the brain, it becomes more agile.
3. Stop doing ten things at once (Stop Multitasking)
We think we are being very smart by talking on the phone, typing mail and eating food all at the same time. Actually, this habit weakens our brain. Make a habit of focusing on one task at a time (Mindfulness). This will increase your concentration and things will be remembered for a long time.
4. Be careful about what you are eating
Don’t eat just to fill your stomach. Include walnuts, green vegetables, berries and pumpkin seeds in your diet. and the most important thing Don’t forget to drink water. Many times, just due to dehydration (lack of water) our brain does not function properly and we feel tired or confused.
5. Close Stress Tabs
Nowadays, we all have 50 tabs open simultaneously in our minds like an internet browser. What will happen tomorrow? What happened in the office? Stop thinking about all this. Do meditation for at least 10 minutes a day. It works like a ‘Restart Button’ for the brain.
A little advice:
Friends, brain is the CPU of our body. It is our responsibility to take care of it. Make these small habits a part of your life from today itself, then see how you will start remembering big things in a jiffy!
