$This episode is sponsored by last past. Whether it's losing your keys or trying to cramp information into your head for an exam, sometimes we just need our brain to be less forgetful. So using science, how can you improve your memory right now? First things, first, you should hit the gym, but sorry, meat heads, you can't skip cardio. M, R, I study show that regular arabic exercise like running improves performance on memory tasks by increasing the blood flow and volume in parts of the hippo. This is important as the hypo campus is a part of the brain that is critical for learning and memory. But IT shrinks by one to two percent per year in late adult, so a robic exercise can be a great way to fight age related declines of our memory. After the gym and free studying. Grab a good snack after a meal. The increased glucose in islan has shown to promote the learning of new information. Luca s and instant are also key to consolidation. The conversion of short term to long term memories, probably because the hippocampus we talked about earlier is enriched with insulin receptors. We said a good snap, but maybe try blueberries. As studies show, participants given a blueberry supplement had a Better ability to recall past events. Blue e barriers contained flag oids that have been shown to protect neurons, enhance their function and stimulate their regeneration. Make sure that you're keeping up with the group chat. Scientists link high quality personal relationships to Better memory. A two thousand seventeen study found that adults adapt, who reported more satisfying relationships and their age had similar cognitive abilities to people in their fifties and sixties. Other research shows hanging out with people can protect against memory declines, common and dementia. Scientists think that our friends creates social pressure that makes us take care of ourselves, and they even do things as simple as tell you, directly or indirectly, to go visit a doctor. Social interactions also present complex cognitive memory chAllenges that can stimulate your brain. Thank you friends hug your friends today because their increasing your memory. If you really want to be super actor about all of this, you could also try to become a memory champion. These are people who can, for example, memorize the order of a deck of cards in thirty seconds. Superior memory skills aren't because of anatomical differences, which means you could accomplish some of these same memory needs with intense practice. One study found that after six weeks of daily thirty minute training, Normal people exhibited similar levels of neural connectivity as these memory athletes. When given a list of seventy two words, they went from being able to recall twenty six to thirty to remembering over sixty words. A little stressed about memorizing a presentation for tomorrow. Not to worry. As research suggests, an optimal level of anxiety can help us remember details during stressful events. Hormones like coras all act on the brain to promote the formation of long term memories, probably so that we can Better process stressful situations and change our behaviors accordingly. But IT doesn't mean that in these stressful times, we are going to become way Better at memorizing things, as too much stress has been shown to empire memory. So this is about finding the right baLance between not panicking and panicking just enough to sharp in your mind. For the most part, we are overly stressed, which leads to us for getting our passwords. Thankfully, there is last pass. last past. Also helps relieve the anxiety and stress of remembering all of your different passwords for all the different platforms. By storing them all in one safe place, you can store an unlimited amount passwords and even helps you to generate stronger passwords and most importantly, update your passwords, which is something that we . should all be doing. You can use IT on many devices like you're laptop or even on your fancy phone. Using an IT even has a password breach alert to help keep you safe. Essentially, with last past, you never have to write, remember or reset your password. Thanks again to last past, and we will see you all next week for another science video, pear.
