MEMORY PROBLEMS (Forgetfulness)
|
SYMPTOMS
- You find you are forgetting too many things.
CAUSES
- Alcoholism, aging, candidacies, stress, allergies,
thyroid problems, hypoglycemia, diabetes, and poor circulation
are factors in memory loss.
TREATMENT
-
Eat a nourishing, balanced, diet and skip all the
junk, processed, and fried food. Good food is needed
to nourish the brain.
-
Nutritional
deficiencies, especially of the B complex and amino
acids, add to memory loss. Obtain your proteins from
brewer's yeast, brown rice, millet, nuts, soy, and
whole grains rather than from meat sources.
-
Maintain
an even amount of blood sugar. This is best done by
eating complex carbohydrates at mealtime, and no food
between meals.
-
Avoid
greasy and high-cholesterol foods; both interfere
with passage of food through the blood to the brain.
-
Avoid
free radicals in the diet; these can greatly damage
brain memory.
-
Avoid
refined sugars; these reduce brain power.
-
For
some people, dairy and wheat products cause memory
reduction. Try cutting them out for a month and see
if there is improvement.
-
Drink
enough water, get enough rest at night. Exercise regularly.
-
Stop
using liquor, drugs, caffeine, and tobacco. Alcohol
does an excellent job of destroying the brain.
