Had this experience? You have a set of keys in your hand and
you're setting out to leave the house. You reach for the keys
and-- where are they? They've vanished. They were just in
your hands and now they're gone. You now try to back track
to find where you put them down. A half an hour later, they're
still lost? You begin to worry that you're losing your memory
or your mind or both.
Almost all of us have experienced memory loss. The brain that
could remember everything --remember too much-- starts to
lose its ability to remember anything. Or so it seems.
But memory is , it turns outs, like a muscle. Use it and it gets
stronger. Neglect it and it atrophies.
The best way to improve memory is to practice, practice,
practice. You must challenge yourself to remember simple
things (phone numbers, id numbers).
Then up the challenge to remember a list of 5 things.
Then 3 days later, challenge yourself to recall the same list.
In days past, people memorized things more. They memorized
poems, Shakespeare.
Find a single poem, song, narrative and memorize it. That helps
your memory in general
Get Enough Sleep
New research has shown that a good's night sleep is necessary
to lose weight and combat obesity.
But sleep performs another function. It also helps your brain to
repair. Lose enough sleep and you'll find yourself unable to
remember. In war, sleep deprivation is used a s a torture. After
24 hours of sleep deprivation, you simply stop being as smart.
