What is the reason for my memory getting worse and worse

When our memory becomes worse and worse, we need to analyze the causes. For example, is it too much stress in daily life or long-term lack of sleep, as well as bad smoking and drinking habits, which may have an impact on it.

1. Too much stress

Moderate stress can improve memory, but excessive stress can harm memory. Young people often devote a lot of energy to work. Excessive workload will cause people to have excessive psychological pressure. People are also prone to negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, which will increase stress and affect memory.

2. Lack of sleep

Numerous studies have shown that people who lack sleep experience reduced cognitive abilities, language skills, creativity, and the ability to plan. Due to lack of sleep on weekdays, most young people like to sleep in on weekends or holidays. However, sleeping in will suppress the cerebral cortex for too long, which will lead to decreased comprehension and memory over time, decreased immune function, disrupt the body's biological rhythm, make people lazy and inert.

3. Staying at home too much

Nowadays, there are more and more "otakus" and "otaku girls". They like to stay at home on their days off and spend their time on things that don't require much brainpower, such as sleeping and watching TV series. However, thinking is the best way to exercise your brain. Not wanting to use your brain will only accelerate brain degeneration and reduce memory.

4. Long-term smoking and drinking

Long-term smoking and alcoholism may lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain. Brain cells in areas with poor blood flow may gradually atrophy. In severe cases, memory may gradually decline and cause dementia.

5. Eating too many high-calorie foods

Daily diet should pay attention to reducing calorie intake and eating more fruits, dried fruits, vegetables, fish and chicken, which can reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline and the development of neurodegenerative diseases.

6. Skimping on breakfast

Breakfast is the source of energy for brain activity. If you skip breakfast, your body will not be able to supply enough blood sugar and you will feel tired, unable to concentrate, and slow to react. In addition, breakfast should also have a proper nutritional balance, and its quality is closely related to thinking ability.

7. Using electronic products for a long time

With the development of technology, we can access more and more electronic products in our daily life. Especially young people, they sit in front of computers at work and hold their mobile phones after get off work. The radiation emitted by these electronic products produces electronic smog, which can affect memory, lead to loss of learning ability, brain and behavioral disorders, and cause depression.
