Where are my keys? Who was I about to call? Do you have trouble remembering everyday things or important information? Do not doubt and read on, in this post you will learn how you can strengthen the memory with natural means.
Reasons for poor memory
Not only elderly people have memory problems, younger people also suffer more and more from bad memories .
We forget the house keys, the name of a person, what we learned the day before, important appointments … Reasons for this can be, for example, overload at work or in the personal area or stress.
Other reasons that affect our memory are:
drug
Antihistamines, narcotics, weight-loss drugs, and drugs to control blood pressure are all drugs that “put our brains to sleep” so that many details are forgotten.
Hormonal changes
Hormone fluctuations can cause memory impairment, be it due to pregnancy, menopause or hormonal imbalances (e.g. caused by drug intake). However, this is normal.
sleep disorders
Insufficient sleep can also cause information to be forgotten and memory and reflexes to deteriorate. Therefore, you should not sleep less than 6 hours. Insomnia is a serious problem that should be addressed.
high blood pressure
People who have high blood pressure from the age of 45 can suffer cognitive damage and memory problems because the small arteries in the brain weaken.
Home remedies for memory
If you have memory problems, we recommend the following home remedies:
- Drink a sage tea daily (scald a handful of sage leaves with a cup of boiling water and let it steep for a few minutes, then filter and drink).
- Rosemary tea with honey (same preparation method as for sage tea, but add 1 spoonful of honey).
- Eat 3 dried apricots, 3 prunes and 3 almonds daily .
- Take walnuts for 9 days. Start at 6 on the first day and then increase the serving by one walnut each day.
- Add fresh ginger (grated or thinly sliced) to your dishes – such as salads, soups, creams, and sauces. Ginger also has great advantages as a tea. Be careful with the amount, however, as ginger will increase blood pressure.
