7 causes of forgetfulness - the crucial question is: when should I worry? It is completely normal to forget something now and again. But there are also illnesses or other causes that can lead to increased forgetfulness and that you should definitely know about. I will now explain what these are and what warning signs there are in this video. 00:00 Introduction 01:19 Your memory suffers from stress 03:06 Your brain performance is influenced by your diet 04:57 Lack of sleep has fatal consequences 07:18 Aging - a normal process! 09:07 Forgetfulness due to too little exercise 10:29 Medication and its side effects 12:10 Typical illnesses #memory #forgetfulness #stress ⏩ First get informed, then supplement: Feel free to take a look at my guide https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct Causes of forgetfulness Stress affects your memory Stress can damage your memory, especially chronic stress. The stress hormone cortisol, which is released in stressful situations, can affect brain structure, particularly the hippocampus, which is responsible for storing information. Negative stress management methods can lead to memory problems, while positive methods such as meditation or exercise can improve memory. Diet and brain performance An unhealthy diet can affect brain structure and lead to memory problems. A varied and balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruit, fish and healthy fats, on the other hand, can support brain health. The Mediterranean diet in particular, which is rich in neuroprotective foods, can promote memory. Lack of Sleep and Memory Impairment Sleep is crucial for memory formation and consolidation. Lack of sleep can impair cognitive function, slow reaction time, and cause newly learned information to not be properly retained. Practicing good sleep hygiene, including regular sleep schedules and relaxation techniques, can help improve memory. Age-Related Changes in the Brain With the aging process come natural changes in the brain that can lead to memory problems. A decline in cognitive function, particularly working memory and attention, is normal. A healthy lifestyle that includes diet, exercise, and avoiding harmful substances can help keep the brain healthy and slow age-related memory loss.
