Let's talk about the health things of Lichun
Memory, a seemingly simple word, contains extremely complex neuroscience principles behind it. As a neurologist, today, I would like to reveal to you the secrets of memory, as well as the diseases and programs associated with it.
First, let's start with the nature of memory. Memory, in fact, is the brain's ability to encode, store and retrieve information. In this process, neurons in the brain are connected to each other through electrical signals, forming a special network. The strength of this network determines the quality of our memory.
So, how does memory work? When we receive a new message, neurons in the brain activate each other through electrical signals to form a temporary network. If we repeatedly strengthen this network, the connections between neurons become stronger, allowing information to be stored for a long time. When we need to extract this information, this strong connection between neurons is activated again, allowing the information to resurface.
However, memory is not set in stone, and it can be affected by many factors. One of the most important factors is age. As we age, there is a gradual decrease in neurons in the brain, which can lead to memory loss. In addition, some diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, can also cause memory loss.
So, is memory loss the same as forgetfulness? Not really. Forgetfulness refers to a significant decline in memory, which affects daily life and work. And memory loss does not necessarily mean forgetfulness. It is only when memory is degraded to the point that it affects daily life and work that it can be called forgetfulness.
So, how can you tell if you are forgetful? Here are some common symptoms of forgetfulness:
1.Often, forgetting recent events, such as forgetting what you ate just after eating.
2.Forget familiar routes, or even get lost.
3.Do the same thing repeatedly, such as turning lights on and off repeatedly.
4.You can't find the items you placed, even if they're right in front of you.
5.Forget important dates like appointments, birthdays, etc.
If you experience any of the above symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly so that you can be diagnosed early.
So, how can you improve your memory? Here are some suggestions:
1.Maintain a good sleep schedule and get enough sleep.
2.Perform aerobic exercises, such as running, swimming, etc., to promote blood circulation to the brain.
3.Eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as nuts, blueberries, etc., to protect brain neurons.
4.Engage in brain training, such as playing mind games, learning new skills, etc., to stimulate brain activity.
5.Maintain a good mood and avoid excessive stress.
So, how does Chinese medicine look at memory? In TCM theory, memory loss is considered to be a manifestation of "kidney essence deficiency". Kidney essence is the material basis of brain function, and only when kidney essence is sufficient can the brain function function be normal. Therefore, the decline of memory in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly through tonifying the kidney and filling sperm, thereby improving brain function.
A typical TCM** program is Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Liuwei Rehmannia Pill is composed of six flavors: Rehmannia Rehmannia, Cornus officinalis, Yam, Ze Yuan, Peony Peel, and Poria Cocos. Rehmannia rehmannia tonifies the kidney, dogwood nourishes the liver and kidney, yam nourishes the spleen and kidney, Ze Epsom relieves water and dampness, peony skin clears heat and cools blood, and Poria cocos strengthens the spleen and dampness. The combination of various medicines can play a role in tonifying the kidneys and filling essence, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the blood, clearing away heat and dampness.
In addition, TCM also advocates the use of dietary therapy to improve memory. Some foods, such as walnuts, sesame seeds, red dates, etc., have the effect of tonifying the kidney, filling essence, strengthening the spleen and nourishing blood, and are suitable for people with memory loss.
In conclusion, memory is a complex neuroscience problem, and understanding the principles behind it is of great significance for us to prevent and improve memory loss. Through scientific diet and living habits, we can effectively improve memory and delay brain aging. At the same time, the methods of tonifying the kidneys and filling essence, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the blood in traditional Chinese medicine also provide new ideas for memory loss. Let's work together to protect our memory and make life better.
