分享&收藏提高记忆力自然疗法

如果我们能够提高记忆力的话,那么有谁会不愿意呢?无论是姓名、电话号码或电脑密码等等,我们都会因为偶尔的记忆能力有限而忘记。记忆力常在有压力或疲劳时会有所下降。此外,大部分超过40岁的人都有一些记忆力衰退。我们并不清楚是什么导致了这个常见的过程,目前也没有常规的治疗方法。下述的是一些自然疗法可能对提高记忆力有帮助:
- 银杏 (Ginkgo):银杏提取物是一种治疗老年痴呆症 (阿尔茨海默病) 疗效非常好的药。银杏也有助于改善常见的与年龄相关的记忆力衰退。在已发表的9个双盲试验中,大多数的研究结果显示:银杏提取物能明显改善与年龄有关的记忆力下降。一些(但不是全部)研究也显示银杏甚至可能对年轻人的记忆力提高也有帮助。
- 磷脂酰丝氨酸 (PS):和银杏一样,保健品磷脂酰丝氨酸在欧洲被广泛地用于治疗多种类型的痴呆症。有一些证据表明磷脂酰丝氨酸也对常见的与年龄相关的记忆衰退有帮助。例如:在一项由149名患有记忆力衰退(但不是痴呆)的人参加的双盲试验中,与安慰剂相比, 磷脂酰丝氨酸能明显增强记忆力。另外一项研究还发现:磷脂酰丝氨酸可以促进银杏改善记忆力方面的功效。
- 人参:一些(但并不是所有)研究已经发现人参可能能提高脑力。例如:在一个为期2个月的双盲试验中,112位健康的中年人分别服用人参或安慰剂,结果显示,服用人参的试验者其抽象思维的能力有所提高。在另一个双盲试验中,60位年长者进行了50天或100天的治疗,结果表明服用人参可以改善包括诸如记忆力、注意力和集中力等许多脑力方面的能力。
