Memory is influenced by various factors, including genetics, family history, and lifestyle choices. Ageing can slow down processing speed and lead to slower retrieval of words. Lifestyle factors like exercise, blood vessel health, and sleep can improve memory, while excessive sugar can cause brain atrophy. Sleep is crucial for long-term memory formation, as the brain requires a rich blood supply for nutrients and oxygen. Stress management is essential to prevent inflammatory states and improve memory retention. Addressing these factors can help improve overall health and overall memory performance.
