A neurologist named five simple exercises to improve memory and brain function
How to stay sane at any age?
People over 40 probably remember how they could once without hesitation call the phone of an aunt living on the other side of the country, quote favorite poems of their favorite poet, describe in detail their travel route while on vacation in an unfamiliar city. Modern people are not capable of such feats, with rare exceptions.
According to a neurologist Igor Sergeev, new technologies are partly to blame for this (only smartphones remember phone numbers today), and partly laziness. Yes, yes, it is she who deprives you of a healthy old age. And some and just a quiet life. after all, without remembering some details, the brain weans itself from serious loads and is also lazy.
Remember how many times it happened to you when you couldn’t remember the neighbor’s name, what you asked your child for tomorrow, and the worst thing is what your loved one asked for as a gift.
If you do not want to become unconscious in the near future, then we advise you to heed the advice of a neurologist on how to quickly pump your brain and avoid dementia, Alzheimer’s and other health troubles.
Habits Everyone Needs
Igor Sergeev advises every person, regardless of age, to regularly train memory, attention, and observation. Today, such exercises are called neurobics. By the way, with their help, you can also pump your creative abilities, thinking, activate the work of both hemispheres of the brain.
What should be done?
-
Try to do all the usual things with the other hand for a certain time. For example, eat with your left hand, write, draw, comb your hair.
-
Walk around your apartment with your eyes closed. You can complicate the task: pick up objects and try to guess with your eyes closed – what it is.
-
Read aloud, and it is especially useful to do this in a company, distributing “roles”.
-
Speed up or slow down. If you are a lively person in life, then try to imagine yourself at slow speeds. And vice versa.
-
Walk slowly, standing in one place, while raising your knee, try to touch it with your elbow. This exercise activates the areas responsible for logical thinking and counting.
