كيف تنشّط الذاكرة بخطوات يوميّة؟

Professor Michael Yassa, a neuroscientist at the University of California, presented eight practical scientific tips to stimulate memory and enhance mental performance, emphasizing that the brain, like a muscle, needs regular training, nutrition, and rest to maintain its efficiency.

Yassa explained that regular aerobic exercise stimulates the growth of nerve cells and improves blood flow to the brain, while a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fresh vegetables supports memory functions. He recommended getting enough sleep, averaging 7 to 8 hours daily, as memory consolidation occurs during deep sleep, noting that managing stress through meditation and deep breathing helps reduce the secretion of the harmful hormone cortisol in the hippocampus. He also advised repeating mental information, continuous learning, and challenging oneself with new cognitive activities such as learning languages or solving puzzles to keep the brain active and vibrant.
