How to stimulate memory and concentration?

Nowadays, people are subjected to various information almost every second. Have you ever met someone and forgotten their name a few minutes later?

Have you ever just entered the store and already forgot why you came there? Have your coworkers reminded you about the email you sent, but you have no idea what they are talking about? Almost all of us come across such problems. Sometimes we may even wonder if our brains are no longer working properly.

What are memory and concentration?

Memory is the brain’s psychological ability to store and recall information we have acquired during an event. Concentration, however, is our ability to maintain attention during an activity that is important to us. Therefore, when reading, we sometimes do not hear disturbing noises, movements and other disturbing elements. The ability to concentrate therefore allows us to get things.

What about when we simply can’t concentrate well enough and therefore can’t remember certain things at all?

If we cannot focus on the new information or stimuli we receive, we will not be able to process and store them in our memory. Our ability to concentrate can vary greatly and sometimes we simply can’t focus. Different factors can contribute to this, that’s why it is especially important to find out why our thoughts are elsewhere and we find it difficult to remember certain things.

Many factors can negatively affect our ability to concentrate, including lack of sleep, poor diet, dehydration, hunger, and physical inactivity. Let’s not forget about certain medications, anxiety, depression, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, etc.

What can we do to help? 

The bests way to fight against memory and focus issues are good sleep and exercise. They enable the proper release of anti-stress hormones, so try getting at least 8 hours of sleep, be physically active (a walk will do the trick), drink enough water and eat quality food.
