5 Healthy Habits for Improving Memory

Home > Blog Posts > Memory Loss > 5 Healthy Habits for Improving Memory

Trying to improve your memory but don’t know where to start?

Treating your body well can enhance your ability to process and recall information. Improving memory is not only a mental process. HealthGuide.org lists these habits as beneficial to memory:

Regular exercise

* Increases oxygen to your brain.
* Reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
* May enhance the effects of helpful brain chemicals and protect brain cells.

Managing stress

* Cortisol, the stress hormone, can damage the hippocampus if the stress is unrelieved.
* Stress makes it difficult to concentrate.

Good sleep habits

* Sleep is necessary for memory consolidation.
* Sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea leave you tired and unable to concentrate during the day.

Not smoking

* Smoking heightens the risk of vascular disorders that can cause stroke and constrict arteries that deliver oxygen to the brain.

Eating Right

* Remember that the food you eat contains chemicals that not only go to your stomach, but also to your brain. That is why it is important to eat a healthy diet consisting of all the food groups. Just remember: everything in moderation!

    I’m concerned that a life time of stress and too much cortisol has caused irrepairable damage. Can this be repaired?
