Step 1: Understand effects of exhaustion 過(guò)度勞累、不健康的生活習(xí)慣、睡眠不足、壓力太大都會(huì)影響你的記憶
Understand that mental exhaustion can mimic the signs of early phase Alzheimer’s. If you create stress with an unrealistic workload, unhealthy habits, and a lack of sleep, the memory suffers.

Step 2: Research normal aging 了解記憶力減退的正常年齡
Research normal aging and learn how a healthy brain’s structure and function changes, resulting in alterations in short term memory. Such slow and mild cognitive impairment is natural.

The brain generates neurons and new connections throughout life, increasing the potential for reversing memory loss.

Step 3: Confuse through depression 長(zhǎng)期抑郁會(huì)影響你的記憶力
Suffer from depression and, over many years, your memory will be affected adversely. With treatment, however, depression can be prevented from causing permanent memory problems.

Step 4: Experience loss 中風(fēng)或者頭部遭受過(guò)創(chuàng)傷也會(huì)影響記憶力
Have a stroke or head injury and you are likely to experience substantial memory problems. Though only some memory function may return, a better diet and self-control may prevent further degradation.

Normal memory problems — misplacing one’s keys or not knowing why you entered a room — don’t get worse over time, though remembering may take longer as you age.

Step 5: Note side effects 注意藥物的不良影響
Note the side effects of medications and ask a pharmacist about interactions, which can sometimes result in memory loss. There is debate over whether statin drugs cause dementia-like symptoms.

Step 6: Identify bad habits 一些不良習(xí)慣也對(duì)記憶力不利
If you practice consistently poor eating habits or experience frequent bouts of dehydration, memory problems could develop. The brain needs fuel, and depleting that supply can invite problems that may become permanent.

Step 7: Isolate and forget 與世隔絕的生活不可取
Isolate yourself and become lonely, or just bored, worried, and sad, and forgetfulness or confusion can follow. See a counselor or get active and socialize.

Loss of as little as 1 1/2 hours of sleep in a night can reduce daytime alertness by as much as 32 percent.
