Primary Prevention
- The most common preventable cause of memory loss is brain trauma, especially trauma resulting form head injury. Preventative measures such as wearing a seat belt or a helmet while biking, can reduce the risk of head injury.[1]
- Eating nutritious foods and reducing stress may help prevent memory loss. In addition, it may be helpful to avoid risk factors such as alcohol abuse and exposure to toxic chemicals.
- As high blood pressure increases the risk for stroke, and therefore memory loss, blood pressure should be kept under control.
- Lifestyle adjustments such as smoking cessation and exercise can also further reduce the risk for stroke and brain trauma.[2]
- Sleep deprivation and stress are also thought to impact the proper functioning of the brain cells, so it is important to get enough rest and avoid stressful activities.[3][4]
- Exercise, especially aerobic exercise, helps combat or restore memory loss. Studies indicate that exercise lessens stress, increases blood flow, and stabilizes and deepens sleep patterns. Walking a few times a week helps fight memory loss.[6]
