[Brain Degeneration] 1 receipt to train memory

  Brain degeneration, attention first? Attention is an important indicator of brain function. If an abnormal decline occurs, it may be a warning sign of brain degeneration or even cognitive impairment. Viu TV outsourced one episode of the Japanese TV show "Horror Medicine" and asked an expert to provide a simple test to help assess whether the attention is consistent with the actual age, to identify whether there is a problem with attention. Do it!

  How important is attention? Our actions in daily life are more or less involved in this brain function. When it is severely degraded, it is not just pure forgetfulness or easy distraction!

  Poor concentration can easily lead to distractions or accidents

  Viu TV’s outsourcing TV show “Horror Medicine” quoted Dr. Naoki Saji, the deputy director of the National Longevity Medical Research Center’s Amnesia Center, as referring to the common manifestations of decreased attention, including the tendency to hit the toes and to be interrupted while doing things. I will forget the next step and other small problems, but it may cause serious accidents. For example, the brain needs to process multiple information at the same time while driving.

  At the beginning of cognitive impairment, first affect attention!

  Why did the attention drop? Dr. George pointed out that everyone's brain will gradually shrink with age, and brain function will decline accordingly. Among them, the shrinking of the frontal lobe called the "commander of the brain" will affect attention! He emphasized that attention is the foundation of many functions of the brain, so in the early stages of cognitive impairment, there will often be a decline in attention, and the situation should not be underestimated.

  -Loss of short-term memory

  -Difficulties in expressing or understanding abstract things, such as expressing physical discomfort, mood, etc.

  -Emotional or behavioral changes

  -Difficulties in learning new things and following complex instructions

  -Decreased judgment

  -Basic self-care activities are still able to cope, but others need to be reminded

  Simple test attention

  To maintain brain health, check attention from time to time to catch problems before the brain begins to decline, make improvements, and prevent deterioration. Dr. George recommended a simple test in the program. It only takes about one minute to know your attention. You may try it:

  Recognition color test

  The method is very simple. The picture below will show 40 Chinese characters. The characters are "red", "green", "blue", and "yellow". The color of the characters will be different from their meanings, that is, the color of the word "yellow" may be Green, everyone needs to start from the upper left corner of the picture, and read out the text color in horizontal order, not the text; the wrong reading needs to be corrected immediately before continuing, and the time to complete during the period must be calculated.
