In a study at Concordia University, memory of younger and older adults were compared. As expected, the younger participants performed better. But here is the twist. Testing found that older adults had trouble letting go of unimportant information.
In essence, older adults had difficulty leaving information behind after they no longer needed it. Scientists concluded that teaching adults how to use stress management and other strategies to help adults let go could "de-clutter" the mind and improve memory.
Here are some good habits to help you keep that brain doing what it should when it comes to memory!
1. Exercise
2. Practice relaxation therapy
3. Practice meditation
4. Try new things
5. Learn a new language
6. Work on letting go of grievances
