Memory is a mental process through which the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of events occur. Its loss or impairment is considered a cognitive problem associated with the brain — the most energy-consuming system in the body. The nervous system processes signals received from the sensory organs and stores them at the level of reflexes and neuronal connections.

Causes of memory disorders
According to neurophysiologists, the human brain can store an enormous amount of information, comparable in volume to the Internet. With such potential capacity, it is surprising that people forget obvious everyday things: whether they turned off the iron, a colleague’s name, or a relative’s birthday.

Common causes of memory impairment:

Hypertension. Elevated blood pressure causes vasoconstriction and disrupts the nutrition of brain cells.

Diabetes mellitus. An increase in blood glucose levels affects blood flow velocity, which may result in memory problems.

Depression and stress. A person accumulates many obsessive thoughts that interfere with remembering simple events. In individuals who have been in a depressed state for a long time, the formation of new nerve cells slows down.

Overfatigue. Severe emotional, mental, or physical exhaustion leads to stress and a high probability of memory deterioration.

Intestinal diseases. The intestine is one of the key organs responsible for immune system formation; therefore, chronic intestinal disorders can lead to general health disturbances, including memory impairment.

Osteochondrosis. Degenerative changes in the spine resulting from trauma or aging impair the blood supply of the vertebral arteries.

Alzheimer’s disease. In this pathology, memory loss is the primary symptom due to disrupted processes in the central nervous system.

Harmful habits. Various addictions (alcohol, drugs) damage the brain with all ensuing consequences.

Symptoms of memory disorders
It is commonly believed that memory impairment affects only elderly people. In fact, it is a very widespread problem. Approximately 30% of young individuals and 70% of elderly people experience it. It may be temporary and mild, or progressive and incurable.

Therefore, individuals of any age should pay attention to the following symptoms:

Hypomnesia. The person loses the ability to remember new information such as names, events, and dates. During conversation, they forget many expressions and increasingly use the phrase “I forgot what it’s called.” They lose spatial orientation in familiar places, fail to recognize familiar faces, and cannot remember phone numbers.

Amnesia (partial or complete memory loss). The person cannot recall events that occurred months or years ago. Some patients do not remember what happened a few days or even hours earlier.

Hypermnesia. The person begins to memorize much more than before, even if the information is unnecessary. This occurs unconsciously and uncontrollably; spontaneous recollections of images, events, or dialogues from the past may arise.

Products that strengthen memory
All the data encountered by a person are stored in memory, which must be nourished. In cases of reduced memory function, certain accessible foods can help:

Parsley. Consuming fresh parsley helps prevent not only memory loss but also premature aging. The brain is a network of cells interconnected by “wires.” Apigenin contained in parsley promotes the formation of new neuronal connections, enabling communication between brain cells.

Eggs. Choline, present in egg yolk, participates in information transmission and memory formation, strengthens the cardiac muscle, and normalizes heart rhythm. Eggs also contain B-group vitamins that help slow down age-related changes in the brain and prevent dementia.

Nuts. Zinc and iodine in walnuts are beneficial for the brain, skin, nails, and hair.

Diagnosis and treatment of memory disorders
Memory itself is not treated in isolation, as its impairment is always associated with a specific disease. This issue is addressed by neurologists, psychiatrists, and clinical psychologists.
Anti-aging medicine physicians at Expert Clinics will approach your problem with utmost care: they will collect medical history, identify the cause and stage of memory impairment, prescribe diagnostic tests, and recommend effective treatment.
