How to maintain a sound mind

Sometimes we begin to notice behind ourselves that we forgot where we put the thing we need. Or forgot to congratulate on the holiday of a person close to us. At first it happens rarely, then more often. How to keep a sound mind and good memory?

Causes of impairment of mental activity

According to doctors, there are several reasons for our forgetfulness. The first reason is age changes. The process of thinking is disrupted, mental activity is deteriorating. This is due to slagging of the membranes of nerve cells. All at an earlier age, due to poor ecology, there are side changes. The second reason is the avalanche of information that falls on us, which our brain can not cope with. The third (but not the last) is the rapid growth of the pace of life. The list can be continued with irrational food, low-quality products, bad water, genes, lack of sleep and so on.

To keep the mind "tenacious and sharp," after 30 years, one should begin to take care of the brain. It is at this age that we begin to notice signs of a deterioration in his work. The system for improving the work of "gray matter" consists of several items that must be performed one after another.

Recipes of "common sense"

Common sense to begin to keep it is necessary with the purification of blood and vessels of the brain. This is the most important point. We kill our body with various drugs, alcohol, nicotine, etc. In order to restore the normal functioning of the brain, it is recommended to drink water with soda or lemon juice (1 teaspoon) on an even number of days on an empty stomach. On odd days, you should drink tea, which includes useful ingredients. This - oregano, St. John's wort, clover, lime color. Also, the leaves of currants, strawberries, viburnum and mountain ash can be part of its composition.

Once a year, you should perform a general body cleansing. There are several options, one of which you can choose for yourself:

1. Pour a glass of sour cream 1 tablespoon grated horseradish. Take with food, 1 tablespoon for 1 month.

2. Leaves of lemon balm should be poured with boiling water, let it brew (preferably in a thermos) for 5 hours. Take 50 grams before meals three times a day for 1 month.

3. Pass through a meat grinder 300 grams of garlic and pour it with alcohol (200 grams). Place in a container, close with a dense lid. Insist for 10 days in a dark place. Take tincture from 5 to 15 drops, thirty minutes before meals, for one month. It is recommended to plant it with milk.

Prepare the herb collection in the following proportions: mulberry leaves-5 parts, nettle-4 parts, chicory-2 parts, hawthorn-4 parts, motherwort-2 parts, sundew grass-3 parts, horsetail-4 parts, walnut leaves- 3 parts, flax seed-2 parts. It is necessary to pour a glass of boiling water 1 tablespoon of this collection and hold in a water bath for 10 minutes. Take it for 1 month, 3 times a day, 1/3 cup for half an hour before meals.

4. Pour 0, 5 liters of vodka with 50 grams of dry root elecampane. Insist for 10 days. Take before meals, 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. Preventive treatment - 3 months.

In order to maintain a sound and tenacious mind, we must improve the work of our brain. It is very useful for this every day to eat one carrot, one onion, a clove of garlic and a few horseradish spoons (if there are no problems with the stomach). This was shown by the research institute of atherosclerosis. And also, during the day, you need to drink 3 liters of liquids: compotes, water, juices. This is an excellent prevention against various "deposits".

The lack of oxygen in the body has a very bad effect on the brain. The acuteness and speed of thinking in a person decreases if he is in a stuffy place for a long time. Also, the ability to remember is reduced in people who smoke. There are some breathing exercises that help our brain with oxygen supply.

1. The following exercise leads to the activation of the brain: pinch one nostril and, about 5 minutes, breathe the other, then vice versa. It is advisable to do this breathing exercise every day.

2. You need to inhale, counting the pulse (8 strokes), then you need to hold your breath (also for 8 seconds), exhale (again for 8 strokes) and again hold your breath. This breathing exercise should be done for 10 minutes, daily.

Aromatherapy is an integral part of breathing exercises. Promote normal operation of the heart and soothes the nervous system smell of lemon, orange, rose, hops, lily of the valley, needles. Basil, bay leaf, dill, parsley - stimulate our "gray matter".
