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 remains in a single position for an extended period, the peripheral blood vessels in the upper limb muscle tissue can gather a significant amount of blood. Stretching your arms upward will lead to muscle tightening and relaxing, which helps to push blood back to the heart. The more blood the heart receives, the more it can distribute to all areas of the body, including the brain.
Tip 4: Comb your hair
Comb 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.
To learn what commonly used acupuncture points in the head, I recommend you to read this book book “Qigong for Better Mind and Body Health” available on Amazon. You can also read a free sample of this book here.
Good day! I simply want to offer you a big thumbs up for the excellent info youve got right here on this post. Ill be coming back to your site for more soon.
