Memory is the reflection of past experiences in the human brain. It includes four 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. The essence of improving memory is to avoid and overcome forgetting as much as possible. As long as you exercise consciously and master the laws and methods of memory in learning activities, you can improve and improve your memory.
The secret of enhancing memory: family therapy: 1? Read more books; 2? Always test yourself; 3? Adequate sleep; 4? Beware of drugs and alcohol; Nutrition and dietotherapy: 1? Appropriate supplementation of vitamin B group; 2? Supplementing minerals and amino acids; 3? Foods that should be eaten for a long time, including whole grains and other grains? Tofu? Eggs? Beans Wheat germ? Fish? Walnut? Sesame? Corn? Lettuce or something.
The following are 10 ways to enhance memory:
1. When paying attention to centralized memory, as long as you concentrate, concentrate, and eliminate distractions and external interference, the cerebral cortex will leave a deep memory trace, which is not easy to forget. If you are distracted and concentrate on doing two things, the memory efficiency will be greatly reduced.
2. If you are interested in learning materials and knowledge objects, it will be hard to remember even if you spend more time.
3. Understanding Memory Understanding is the basis of memory. Only what is understood can be remembered for a long time. 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. Over-learning means memorizing the learning materials several times on the basis of memorizing them, so as to reach the level of memorizing them.
5. The speed of reviewing and forgetting in time 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. When you often recall learning, you can try to recall constantly, so that mistakes in memory can be corrected, omissions can be made up, and the difficulties in learning content can be remembered more firmly. When you are free, you can often recall the objects you have remembered in the past, and you can also avoid forgetting them.
7. Audio-visual combination can use the functions of language and visual and auditory organs at the same time, strengthen memory and improve memory efficiency. Much better than a single silent reading.
8. A variety of means According to the situation, flexible use of memory methods such as classified memory, chart memory, shortening memory and compiling outlines, taking notes and cards can enhance memory.
9. Best 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. Scientific use of the brain can greatly improve the working efficiency of the brain, prevent excessive fatigue and maintain a positive and optimistic mood on the basis of ensuring nutrition, active rest and physical exercise. This is the key to improving memory.
Foods that help to enhance memory:
Drinking grape juice often is good for prolonging 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 in 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 foods that enhance memory.
Some brain-nourishing 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 conducive to 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.
