Memory Loss Day

On August 31 of each year, the Day against Memory Loss is celebrated, initiated by the World Association against Brain Diseases It is considered a celebration for those people who can quickly learn and remember information, and for those who experience forgetfulness in everyday life The holiday is aimed at making our memory more loyal and leaving pleasant traces, saving a person from unpleasant moments and events But in frequent cases, bitter memories remain relevant throughout a person’s life, and positive moments are forgotten The day of combating memory loss takes place in the atmosphere of a friendly meeting or feast Friendly meetings are always pleasant and welcome events On this day, it is better to meet with old acquaintances and childhood friends, remember interesting and funny life events At the same time, one person can remember the situation down to the smallest detail, while for another, the memories of a colleague will be enough to resume a memorable incident Drinking strong drinks does not contribute to the development of memory, but on the contrary, causes forgetfulness But communication brings results and brings happy memories Holidays on the holiday of remembrance can be accompanied by solving crossword puzzles, sudoku, reading poems and monologues by famous or little-known authors, saying toasts, jokes, and epics This day can be spent with friends in the sauna, on the river, or in another place in nature, in a bowling club, billiards, or on a sports ground Just don’t forget that the next day, September 1, children need to go to school And many people need to prepare for this event and take direct part in it The state of memorization depends on the age of the person and his training Children remember information like a sponge, absorbing new information without the slightest obstacle People who are not involved in constant memory training have a harder time They forget events that happened in the distant past, losing their memory features day by day Sometimes the opposite phenomenon occurs when a person remembers well the events of past years, but has difficulty remembering what happened a few days or months ago He may forget the name of a store, cafe, cinema, the name or surname of a colleague with whom he had to work, his promises and grievances, words from everyday life To train your memory, you need to regularly read any literature, complete solving tasks, pass tests, crosswords, and learn poems, monologues, and texts by heart The talent to remember large amounts of information is not inherent in all people Some individuals can quickly memorize text, while others find it difficult to learn even a simple poem But the adult brain is capable of storing new facts and experiences without limitation The potential of human memory is based to some extent on the physiology of the brain, which consists of 100 billion neurons But only 1 billion of these, called pyramidal, can store information in memory for a long time If we assume that a neuron holds a unit of memory, we can determine that the brain is completely loaded, like a flash drive or any electronic medium completely filled with information But our brains never run out of storage space New material arrives in any quantity and is stored in the brain to the extent possible, its relevance and importance The day of combating memory loss is closely related to a person’s general health, his mood and level of intelligence
