Four common habits that “destroy our memory as we age”
- Multitasking: It strains the prefrontal cortex, crucial for focus and memory formation. Instead, focus on single tasks with breaks for relaxation.
- Poor sleep: Sleep allows the brain to consolidate memories and remove waste. Prioritize good sleep hygiene by avoiding screens and stimulants before bed.
- Monotonous activities: Memories are tied to context. Varied experiences provide richer contexts, strengthening memories. Break routine and try new things.
- Overconfidence in memory: We often overestimate our ability to remember. Embrace the likelihood of forgetting and use active recall techniques like spaced repetition to solidify memories.
By avoiding these habits and adopting healthier practices, the article suggests we can improve memory and potentially prevent “senior moments.”
Oh yeah, how is that kindness and empathy working out for you. Some craze about “the_donald” based on a few sentences I said to you?
Maybe if you have issues dont try to LARP as a dad talking about you being different or troubled from a second perspective or use far blown phrases like “its the fault of capitalism”.
If you got anything to say about what the actual problem or excuse is, say it.
