Symptomatic treatment of memory decline Memory is a psychological process and people's impression of what they have experienced and happened. After processing, it is stored in the brain and extracted and recalled when necessary. The memory of adults changes with age, which is a physiological change and a normal memory aging. In addition, memory is also related to health, such as brain tumor, diabetes, alcoholism, hypothyroidism, neurosyphilis and other diseases will cause memory decline. At the same time, memory has a very important relationship with mental health. Long-term exposure to social pressure, depression, inferiority, anxiety and other psychological States can also cause memory disorders. Amnesia is not a patent for the elderly. In general clinics, we often see many young patients? Complain that there are things that can't be remembered? Memory loss such as forgetfulness. Doctors usually give some educational drugs to treat such patients, but the effect is not good because they are not symptomatic. Memory loss often makes patients fall into anxiety and tension, and depression is also the cause of patients' inattention, which is manifested as decreased attention. The appearance of these symptoms has increasingly aggravated patients' sense of inferiority, but such patients often only complain about the decline of memory and avoid emotional problems. It is not difficult to solve the problem of memory decline caused by psychological factors. The key is to clarify the cause and prescribe the right medicine. Doctors and nutrition experts engaged in special research in the psychological outpatient department of neurology department of Beijing Friendship Hospital suggest that patients with amnesia should pay attention to the following points in their lives: 1. Take an active and healthy lifestyle and live regularly. 2. Correct self-regulation, pay attention to maintaining an optimistic mood and a positive attitude, especially in the face of stressful events in life, learn to decompress yourself and maintain physical and mental health. 3. Items should be placed in a relatively fixed position and put back in place after use. For some important things, you can write them down with a pen? Develop good living habits. 4. Patients should pay attention to supplement fresh vegetables and fruits as well as corn, whole wheat, beans, garlic, mushrooms, milk, sardines, lean meat and other foods in their diet. You can take a certain amount of Ginkgo biloba extract and vitamin E every day. How to enhance memory? Memory is the reflection of past experiences in the human brain. It includes three basic processes: memory, retention, reproduction and recall. Its forms include image memory, concept memory, logical memory, emotional memory, sports memory and so on. The enemy of memory is forgetting. Improving memory is actually trying to avoid and overcome forgetting. As long as you exercise consciously and master the laws and methods of memory in learning activities, you can improve and improve your memory. Here are ten ways to enhance your memory. 1. Attention. As long as you concentrate on your memory and eliminate distractions and external interference, the cerebral cortex will leave a deep and unforgettable memory trace. If you are distracted and concentrate on doing two things, the memory efficiency will be greatly reduced. 2. Strong interest. If you are not interested in learning materials and knowledge objects, it will be difficult to remember even if you spend more time. 3. Understand memory. Understanding is the basis of memory. Only what is understood can be firmly and permanently remembered. It's not easy to learn by rote. For important learning content, if we can combine understanding with reciting, the memory effect will be better. 4. Overstudy. That is to say, on the basis of remembering the learning materials, remember them several times more to achieve the degree of memorizing and remembering. The best degree of over-learning is 150%. 5. Review in time. The speed of forgetting is fast first and then slow. While the iron is hot, reviewing and consolidating what you have just learned is an effective means to strengthen memory traces and prevent forgetting. 6. Always remember. When studying, constantly trying to recall can correct memory mistakes, make up for omissions, and make the hard-to-remember learning content stronger. When you are free, you can often recall the objects you have remembered in the past, and you can also avoid forgetting them. 7. Combine reading, thinking, watching and listening. We can use the functions of language and visual and auditory organs at the same time to strengthen memory and improve memory efficiency, which is much better than single silent reading. 8. Use a variety of memory methods. According to the situation, flexible use of memory methods such as classified memory, characteristic memory, homophonic memory, argument memory, associative memory, interesting memory, chart memory, shortening memory and compiling outline, taking notes and cards can all enhance memory. 9. Master the best memory time. Generally speaking, 9 ~ 1 1 in the morning, 3 ~ 4 in the afternoon and 7 ~ 10 in the evening are the best memory time. Use the above-mentioned hard-to-remember learning materials, and the effect is better. 10. Use your brain scientifically. On the basis of nourishing and maintaining the brain, active rest and physical exercise, using the brain scientifically, preventing excessive fatigue and maintaining a positive and optimistic mood can greatly improve the working efficiency of the brain. This is the key to improving memory. Foods that help to enhance memory: Drinking grape juice often helps to prolong life. Drinking wine properly has the same effect, but because alcohol can paralyze the nerves, grape juice is a better choice. The antioxidant content of grape juice is higher than that of any other fruits and vegetables, and it can improve the transmission ability of nervous system. Besides prolonging life, grape juice can also improve memory in a short time. Wild blueberry fruit is rich in antioxidants, which can remove impurities from the body. The experimental results on mice show that long-term intake of blueberry fruit can accelerate the growth and differentiation of neurons in hippocampus, improve memory, prevent balance and coordination from weakening with age, and reduce the incidence of hypertension and stroke. Other memory-enhancing foods and brain-strengthening foods are actually very common and inexpensive. Such as egg yolk, soybean, lean meat, milk, fish, animal viscera (heart, brain, liver, kidney), carrots, cereals, etc. These foods are not only rich in lecithin, but also easy to digest, which has a positive effect on the development of children's brain marrow. 1? Milk is rich in protein, calcium, vitamin B 1 and essential amino acids for the brain. Calcium in milk is the most easily absorbed. When you are overworked or insomnia, a cup of hot milk helps you fall asleep. 2? Eggs. Called the complete protein model by nutritionists, the absorption rate of human body is 99.7%. One egg a day is enough for normal people. People with poor memory can effectively improve their memory by eating 5 ~ 6 capsules a day (not suitable for people with high cholesterol). Children eat eggs properly from an early age, which is good for developing memory; Especially egg yolk, which contains essential nutrients for brain cells such as egg yolk and egg calcium, can enhance brain vitality. . 3? Fish. Can provide high-quality protein and calcium for the brain. The fatty acids contained in freshwater fish are mostly unsaturated fatty acids, which can protect cerebral vessels and promote brain cell activity. 4? Shellfish. The content of carbohydrate and fat is very low, almost pure protein, which can quickly supply the brain with a large amount of methionine. Therefore, it can greatly stimulate brain energy, improve mood and improve brain function. Taking shellfish as an appetizer can improve brain power as quickly as possible. But shellfish are more likely to accumulate toxins and pollutants in the ocean than fish. 5? Monosodium glutamate. The main component is sodium glutamate, which is the only amino acid involved in brain metabolism. It can increase acetylcholine in brain, promote intellectual development, maintain and improve brain function and improve memory. 6? Peanuts. Nuts such as peanuts are rich in lecithin, which can improve blood circulation, inhibit platelet aggregation, prevent cerebral thrombosis, delay brain function decline, enhance memory and delay aging. Is a veritable "longevity fruit". 7? Xiaomi. Dimensions B 1 and B2 are higher than m 1 ~ 1? Five times. Clinical observation shows that eating millet is beneficial to brain health care and can prevent aging. 8? Corn. Corn germ is rich in a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, which has the functions of protecting cerebrovascular and reducing blood lipid. Glutamate is high in content, which can promote the metabolism of brain cells and has a brain-strengthening effect. 9? Day lily can soothe the nerves and relieve depression, but it should not be eaten raw or fried alone to avoid poisoning. It is best to eat it dry and cooked. 10? Pepper. Vitamin C ranks first among vegetables and is also rich in carotene and vitamins. Capsaicin contained in pepper can stimulate taste, increase appetite and promote blood circulation in the brain. "Spicy" flavor is also a hormone in the human body to stimulate the pursuit of career success, which makes people energetic and active in thinking. Raw food is better. 1 1? Spinach. Rich in vitamins A, C, B 1 and B2, it is one of the best suppliers of brain cell metabolism. It also contains a lot of chlorophyll, and it also has the function of strengthening the brain and improving intelligence. 12? Oranges, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, etc. It contains a lot of vitamins A, B 1 and C, and is a typical alkaline food, which can eliminate the damage caused by a lot of acidic food to the nervous system. Eating oranges in moderation during the exam can make people energetic. 13? Pineapple is rich in vitamin C and trace element manganese, and low in calories. It is often used to replenish body fluids and improve memory. 14? Carrot. It can stimulate brain material exchange and relieve the pressure of back pain. 15? Avocado contains a lot of oleic acid, which is the energy source of short-term memory. Normal people can eat half an avocado every day. 16? Seaweed. Rich in chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and protein, it can improve memory and attention. 17. Cabbage: Rich in vitamin B, it can prevent brain fatigue. 18. Soybean: contains egg yolk and rich protein. Eating a proper amount of soybeans or bean products every day can enhance memory. 19. Auricularia auricula: It contains protein, fat, polysaccharide, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients, and is a good brain tonic. 20. Apricot: rich in vitamins A and C, it can effectively improve blood circulation, ensure adequate blood supply to the brain and help the brain enhance memory.
