How to increase the efficiency of the brain, said the expert.
Why complain about memory, decreased concentration of attention began to young people? Do I need to sound the alarm or is there an opportunity to fix something. The reason for such changes lies in modern life, the leading expert of the Institute of the Human Brain named after N.P. Bekhtereva RAS Irina Malova. The number of people who suffer from neurodegenerative diseases is steadily increasing. These ailments are dangerous because they gradually kill nerve cells in the brain. And the risk of developing Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases is high in young people.
Scientists around the world are concerned about new diseases of the central nervous system.
What causes brain damage
As Irina Malova explains, in particular, this is due to the accumulation of misfolded proteins. They form clots (aggregates) and literally tear nerve cells from the inside, then begin to attack healthy neurons.
But there is good news, Irina Malova is encouraging, there are effective, scientifically proven ways to help reduce the threat of developing neurodegenerative diseases.
Such methods help to increase the productivity of the brain and healthy people.
Watch your health
Any inflammation in the body can affect the death of brain cells, the doctor warns. If a person does not pay attention to carious teeth, then the threat of developing Alzheimer’s disease increases several times. Brain degradation is promoted by herpes, influenza, coronavirus viruses.
The best diet for the brain
More antioxidants, less sweets and fast foods. For example, the Mediterranean diet will help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by almost 50%.
The antioxidants we need can be obtained from fruits and vegetables. And sea fish and greens will help brain cells get the oxygen they need.
And do not forget to train your memory, learn at least children’s counting rhymes, then you can proceed to memorizing poems by heart.
