However, it is important to note that to obtain all the benefits, the apple must be included in a balanced and healthy diet and, the recommendation of the medical attention center Cano Health is to eat a combination of the Dash and Mediterranean diets.
Additionally, it is important to follow other recommendations to take care of memory, such as:
1. Perform physical activity. New World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week for all adults, including people living with chronic conditions or disability, and an average of 60 minutes a day for children and adolescents.
2. Stay mentally active. To do so, the entity recommends doing crossword puzzles, playing bridge, taking different paths when driving, playing an instrument, among others. Another recommendation is to ask yourself questions whose answers you should investigate, such as what is the capital of that country, how long do ants live, what was the first song by that artist, among others.
Other causes of memory loss include insufficient oxygen to the brain when the heart or breathing stops for too long, severe brain infection or infection around the brain, major surgery or serious illness, and even brain surgery. | Photo: Derek Berwin. 2014
4. Consume vitamins. There are 13 essential vitamins, among which are vitamin A, C, D, E, B vitamins, among others.
5. Organize daily tasks. Writing down appointments, tasks, or events will help you remember more easily. Also, Mayo Clinic recommends avoiding distractions and not doing too many things at once. “If you focus on the information you’re trying to retain, you’re more likely to remember it later. It can also help to relate what you’re trying to retain to one of your favorite songs or another familiar concept,” she noted.
In any case, the information given above is in no way a substitute for medical advice and therefore, the first thing to do is consult a health expert so that he or she can guide the process and indicate what is most appropriate for each person.
