In the previous part, i elaborated on the changes that happens to our brain as we age between the age 0 to 50 years. This is the continuation of the part. Kindly follow me as i take you through this tour to unravel the rest tips.
- During your 60s
This period of one's lifetime is said to be an advance one. You become absent minded more often and hardly remember things once a day unlike when under 30 when you could be absent-minded to recall once a week. At this stage of your life, you are able to store messages at various parts of your brain but it now takes more time to process and retrieve your information depending on your need at that moment.
It has been observed at the University of California that most people at their 60s find easily gets distracted and takes more time to reprocess their earlier moment. In
-During your 70s and Above
At this point in time, you'll need a book to outline your experiences and keep track of some items you may easily forget. You're able to recall about 40 to 50% of unconnected word given to you to read shown a memory test, while a young adult of 25years of age can recall virtually all 100% of words they read. It has been discovered through research that memory declines by 30% at this age and it's easier to remember a longtime experience than the cloth you wear yesterday due to a long-term encoded memory in the brain which triggers amygdala (a primal part of your brain which is activated by our strong emotions) to program such an Occassion more rigidly in your long-time memory.
So It is very wise to desist from any brain damaging food or lifestyles as this make the loss of memory more pronounced as you age. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and exercise frequently, spend less time on television or computer screen due to the potential eye damaging effect of blue rays from computer screens. Take more of fruit and desist from food with artificial sweeteners. Cut down on alcohol intake, desist from hard drugs as its effect is capable of causing a longtime damaging impact. Prevent is said to be better than cure as "Health is Wealth".
