A Clear Conscience is Usually the Sign of a Bad Memory: Surprising Things That Affect Memory

Has your conscience been a little too clear lately

? Who knows what you might be forgetting? Maybe you forgot to get your brakes repaired, or worse you forgot to honor your marriage vows. The memory loss youre experiencing may be a result of your lifestyle choices. Below are some surprising causes of memory loss. Tofu Yes tofu is considered a very healthy soy alternative to most meat products, but when consumed in excess, this health-conscious choice can increase memory loss as we age. A recent study conducted at Oxford University has shown that people who eat tofu at least once a day are at a higher risk for dementia as they get older. Carbohydrates We already know that indulging in carbs can really pack on the pounds, but it can also put you at risk for Alzheimers disease. When we overindulge on carbohydrates we experience a spike in insulin production, which in effect causes enzymes in your brain to work extra hard to remove the excess, rather than focusing their attentions on riding your brain of toxic beta-amyloid proteins, which have been shown to produce Alzheimers disease. Hot Flashes Women going through menopause who experience a significant amount of hot flashes may be at a higher risk for memory loss, especially when it comes to remember names and stories. While the exact cause is still uncertain, it may be a result of excessive cortisol, a stress hormone which accompanies a hot flash. Smoking Yet another reason to kick the habit, middle age adults who smoke are at a higher risk for memory loss according to recent studies. The good news is that recent studies have also shown that long term ex-smokers are less likely to have the same cognitive deficits, so you still have a chance!
