In this new world with technology, our brain is exposed to new data every day, trying to separate what is essential and what is not important, and it needs to develop continuously to progress professionally or personally. In an environment where there are so many data, the importance of memory is increasing much more than in ancient times. Unfortunately, our physiology works in the opposite direction when we need to improve our memory with age. Our brain slows down growth from the early 20s when we stepped into adulthood. This turns into a decrease in learning and remembering. Fortunately, scientists have proven that there is nothing to be feared by their studies. Although our physiology slows down, there are scientific methods to reverse it, and I will try to address each of them briefly in this article.
Do Sports
We think smart people aren't very athletic, but science shows that we can be wrong about it. The hippocampus part, which plays a crucial role in learning and memory of the brain under normal conditions, shrinks from 1% to 2% in adulthood. However, studies show that the hippocampus gains volume due to increased blood flow during the workout. So, it is possible to reverse the shrinkage that occurs physiologically. Volume throwing is an increase in effectiveness. Especially in cardio-oriented workouts, this effect is much more. To strengthen your memory, you should not only read books but also do sports. Of course, it doesn't have to be a professional level, but it's enough to speed up your heart rate and blood flow as you walking little fast. That's one of the two things that matter. The other one is to do it regularly. After all, the big brains don't grow in one day.
Eat Healthy Snacks
The hippocampus I've just mentioned is developing with insulin as well as with sports. The receptors in the hippocampus are both activated and numerically increased by glucose and insulin. Don't think "I should eat a kilo of chocolate every day then." Instead, you can go for healthy snacks that will be good for both your brain and your body. For example, it has been scientifically proven that the flavonoids in blueberry protect, develop and regenerate neurons. If you change your snacks during the day with red, purple fruits and nuts, you will find that you learn faster and remember more about what you learned. Because these foods help you turn what you have learned into short-term memory to long-term memory.
Establish More Relationships
When I say relationship, I don't talk about love relationship only. But by relationship, I mean human relations. The relationships you establish with people in your community are another important factor that affects your brain development and memory. But what matters is the quality of these relationships, not meeting people and being goofy. Quality relationships based on communication, narration, listening, and sharing do not only make you happy, but also protect you from dementia. Studies with a group of adults in their 80s who have quality relationships are shown that the brain and memory functions of those equal to those who are 50-60 years old's brains. It may not be possible for your body, but your brain may look 20 or even 30 years younger! Another advantage of social relations is that it encourages you to pay attention to yourself. So good relationships are the most important factor that will keep you both smart and fit.
Balance your stress
We all know little about the harmful effects of stress on our lives. However, when it comes to memory, a low pressure does not hurt, even the benefit of it. Research shows that the hormone cortisol secreted along with stress is a positive effect on the hippocampus but the dose of stress is important because extreme stress has an opposite effect. So little anxiety increases your memory, but panicking makes you little stupid.
Finally, I have to say that intelligence and memory are not very dependent on physiological or genetic factors. The important thing is to practice regularly. Next, to the items I mentioned above, there is another study. It turns out that someone remembers more than 100% of those who did 30 minutes of memory exercise each day for six weeks.
High fat low carb diet is very good for your brain. IF you are interested in your health and improving your brain, go dig out some info from internet about Keto.
P.S. Always remember, the quality of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. And the quality of your your thoughts depends on the quality of your brain(in this case body). Put good things in it.
Yes, I've heard about Keto before. Actually, I've applied a diet that is very close to that for a while. I have had the most energetic and healthy days of my life for about six months, but I have a chaotic work life, so I had to take a break for now. At that time, I had the opportunity to experience how nutrition was healing for both the mind and the body. It was unbelievable.
The development of technologies is closely connected with the development of the individual and society. Training is necessary, it really helps.
Thanks for stopping by. You're absolutely right. Accessibility to technology is very important, but there are a lot of things that those who do not have these facilities can do. Progress and development should not always be connected to the conditions.

I want to differ because for me the advancement in technology reduces the importance of memory because u can just hit anything you don't want to forget in your notepad.
Thank you for stopping by @utali12 . I think the important thing is how we use technology. According to the way we use the results can be good or bad. Not only technology but also human development is important at that point.
I love any post that is all about mental health! I think these are all great ideas for taking care of our brain and they aren't difficult to do. We are only given one body, let's take care of it! :)
Thank you for stopping by @annemariemay. You're right! One body, one life! There are a lot of difficult things that we have to deal with in our lives, so it is important that our mental health is maintained in an easy way :)
