Four Tips for the Memory improvement

Memory decline is a normal and natural phenomenon. Many people experience memory decline as they get older. Multiple factors could cause memory loss. Such as insufficient activity, poor blood circulation, and insufficient blood supply to the brain.

Practicing Tai Ji and Qigong is a great way to improve memory and health in general. Besides that, there are some simple things you can do daily to improve your memory as well. Here are a few tips.

Tip 1: Raise your legs

Put your legs on a chair or table for a few minutes, and make sure that your legs are higher than your heart. When you do this, the blood in the feet and legs will return to the lungs and heart, which not only relieves the pressure on the veins in the feet and legs but also greatly increases the blood supply to the head and brain.

Tip 2: Shake your head

The carotid artery is the conduit for blood supply to the brain. Shaking the head can make these tissues active, which will increase the blood supply to the brain. It can reduce the possibility of fat deposition in the carotid arteries, and prevention of hypertension and cervical spondylosis.

Tip 3: Stretch your arms up

When the body is in one position for a long time, the peripheral blood vessels of the upper limb muscle tissue will accumulate a lot of blood.  Stretching your arms up will cause muscle tightening and relaxing, which drive blood flows back to the heart. The more blood the heart gets, the more blood is sent to all parts of the body including the brain.

Tip 4: Comb your hair

Combing your hair will directly stimulate the acupuncture points on the head, therefore promoting blood circulation in the head. This can regulate the excitation and inhibition processes of the cerebral cortex, improve the function of the nerves in the head, promote blood circulation and the secretion of subcutaneous glands, improve nutrient metabolism, and allow limited nutrition to be satisfied first in the brain, thereby enhancing memory.
