      1. Rely on notepad to do things

      Some people are accustomed to using notepads and think that if they write down everything in the notebook, there will be no mistakes, but this is not a good habit.

      Long-term use of notepads will lead to dependence on action. You will write down everything in the notebook at the first time, which leads to lack of memory. exercise , which can also lead to forgetfulness over time.

      2. Excessive intake of harmful metals in life

      Excessive use of aluminum cookware and tableware, coupled with frequent consumption of foods with high lead content such as popcorn, canned food, preserved eggs, fried cakes (such as fried cakes), will cause excessive intake of heavy metals in the body and cannot be excreted in time.

      Over time, these heavy metals are retained and accumulated in the body, which will slow down brain power and affect memory.

      Painkillers and sleeping pills can all affect memory. Many people are stressed and need sleeping pills to fall asleep. They are so used to taking them that they take two sleeping pills before going to bed without even trying to sleep naturally.

      This type of drug mainly achieves sleep-promoting or analgesic effects by inhibiting neurotransmitters. Long-term use of analgesics will cause the memory nerve reactivity to continue to decrease, and forgetfulness is inevitable.

      Working at night will inevitably affect the quality of the next day's work, because less sleep will lead to a reduction in sympathetic nerve excitement, and the brain's ability to absorb and retain information will be compromised.

      Staying up late at work will also aggravate the body's fatigue, especially for people who work until after one o'clock in the middle of the night. Continuing to work will lead to physical overload, imbalance of Qi and blood, etc., and will lead to habitual forgetfulness in the long run.
