1. Use the brain diligently: All organs of the human body follow the law of "use in and waste out", and the secret of delaying brain aging is here. Research shows that. Neurons can only maintain their morphological and functional integrity under the condition of continuous stimulation. To protect the function of the brain, we must be willing to use the brain and be diligent in thinking. The more you use the brain, the more connections between nerve cells in the brain, and the more enkephalins and ribonucleic acid substances in the brain, thus improving the function of the brain and keeping people sharp for a long time. Diligent use of the brain, often repeatedly and purposefully accepting the stimulation of external information, can also strengthen the memory traces of the brain and make the memory firm. Japanese scientists use ultrasound to observe people with different lifestyles, and find that people who are diligent in thinking are often in a relaxed state, which is conducive to the transport of oxygen and nutrients to brain cells, so that the brain nerves are well maintained. Therefore, thinking activities can slow down brain aging. British philosopher Bacon said. "Reading makes people wise, poetry makes people witty, mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people deep, ethics makes people grave, logic and rhetoric make people able to contend." . Menopausal female friends can exercise their logical thinking ability, analytical judgment ability, keep their brains alert and accurate, and enhance their memory by reading, writing, reciting poems, calculating, speaking and thinking, all of which are helpful to cultivate sentiment, increase their intelligence and enhance their anti-aging ability. 2. Appropriate exercise: After menopause, the brain will develop in the direction of aging. In addition, middle-aged people have heavy work intensity, heavy life burden and mental stress, and their brains are often overloaded. If not corrected, it will accelerate the aging of the brain. Proper aerobic exercise will accelerate the heart beat, accelerate the blood flow of the whole body, increase the blood saturation of blood oxygen, and increase the blood flow of the brain accordingly, which can deliver more oxygen and nutrition to the brain, promote the metabolism of brain cells, help the tired brain to fully relax and rest, keep the brain fully functional, and make people clear-headed and energetic. Walking, jogging, swimming, Qigong and Tai Ji Chuan are all very suitable for menopausal women. Local exercise can also get good results. We already know that the finger motor center occupies the most extensive area in the cerebral cortex, and the functions of the nerve center under its jurisdiction can be exercised through fine finger movements such as playing the piano, knitting, practicing calligraphy and doing manual work. Hair-combing, massage, massage and other head health-care exercises can massage acupuncture points on the head, dilate capillaries, accelerate blood circulation and relax the nervous state of the head, which plays an irreplaceable role in regulating the nerve function of the head, improving the oxygen and nutrition supply to the brain and delaying brain aging. 3. Ensure sleep: Excitement and inhibition are the laws of activity in the cerebral cortex. When using the brain, the brain nerve cells are excited and consume a lot of energy. If the brain is overused and exceeds the physiological limit of brain nerve cells, brain function will fail, brain aging will accelerate, and smart people will become confused. When sleeping, the brain enters a state of inhibition, which can replenish consumed energy, eliminate fatigue, restore energy, enhance immunity and restore the body. Adequate and high-quality sleep is the most important and effective way to prevent premature aging, maintain physical and mental health, and maintain physical fitness and wisdom. "Healthy body comes from sleep", menopausal friends should pay attention to brain health, combine work and rest to ensure sleep. The length of sleep varies from person to person. Generally, 7-8 hours of sleep is enough for middle-aged people, but too much is harmful. 4. Brain-nourishing food: Brain cells need to ingest a variety of nutrients in the process of metabolism. Only by reasonably ingesting rich nutrients with different functions can we achieve the effect of strengthening the brain and improving intelligence. These nutrients should be supplemented from daily food, so menopausal female friends should pay attention to a balanced diet and eat more brain-nourishing foods, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, seaweed, fish, eggs, milk, animal livers, beans, walnuts, peanuts, almonds and red dates, which are all good brain-nourishing nutrients. In particular, eat more foods containing more plant protein to enhance the excitement and inhibition of the cerebral cortex, promote the metabolism of brain cells, and keep the brain in the best condition. However, to achieve a balance between supply and demand in nutrient intake, excessive intake will be counterproductive. 5. Mental health: menopause is a kind of spirit. In the period of psychological instability, there are often abnormal psychology such as anxiety, impatience, paranoia and pessimism. Bad emotions and psychology can make the cerebral cortex over-excited or over-inhibited, leading to neurological dysfunction in the brain, which in turn leads to systemic neurological and endocrine disorders; A disease or deterioration caused by organ dysfunction, such as elevated blood pressure. Arrhythmia, gastrointestinal dyskinesia, etc. In turn, it will aggravate brain function and brain cell damage and accelerate brain aging. A happy and peaceful state of mind is conducive to the coordination and unity of the nervous system and various organs, so that the physiological and metabolic processes of the body are in the best state, and the vitality of brain cells is enhanced by feedback, which is of great help to strengthening memory and improving the efficiency of brain use. Therefore, menopausal female friends should pay attention to mental health, learn psychological self-control and adjustment, maintain optimistic and stable emotions, feel comfortable, be generous and open-minded, handle interpersonal relationships well, cultivate a wide range of interests and hobbies, and participate in activities beneficial to society, which is very important for cultivating temperament and regulating brain function. 6. Eliminate hidden dangers: When entering menopause, special attention should be paid to eliminating the causes of brain function damage. Some chronic diseases such as. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, cerebrovascular diseases, chronic bronchitis, etc. It is closely related to brain dysfunction and senile dementia. Appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures should be taken, regular inspection should be carried out to control the development and avoid complications. Actively treat cervical spondylosis and ensure blood supply to the brain. Pay attention to food hygiene and eat less salty and greasy food to prevent arteriosclerosis. Avoid using aluminum cookware, and eat less foods containing more aluminum such as fried dough sticks and vermicelli, so as to reduce the possibility of aluminum poisoning. Prevent brain trauma and cerebral hypoxia. Prevent biological toxins, inorganic substances and organic poisons from damaging brain function, and do not smoke or drink alcohol. These are all necessary measures to prevent premature aging of brain cells. 7. Drug conditioning: In recent years, many studies have shown that estrogen has a nutritional effect on nerves, can dilate blood vessels, improve blood supply to the brain and increase glucose transport, thus protecting and supporting neurons, promoting the repair of damaged brain cells, resisting depression and anxiety, and has a positive role in preventing and delaying the occurrence of menopausal depression. Menopausal women can supplement estrogen under the guidance of a doctor. There is sufficient evidence that oxidative damage caused by free radicals in the body is an important cause of organ function decline, immune function decline and aging. Vitamin C, vitamin E and b carotene all have antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects, which are beneficial to the metabolism and function of neurons, can delay nerve aging, maintain brain vitality, make brain thinking activities smart and flexible, and improve memory. Vitamin B group is necessary for nerve cell nutrition and can prevent nerve disorder. Vitamins are closely related to preventing brain aging, so we should ensure that we get enough vitamins. In addition, prochloraz and doxycycline preparations, such as deep-sea fish oil, are good free radical scavengers and can improve free radical metabolism. Some traditional drugs also have a good brain-strengthening effect, such as ginseng and Gynostemma pentaphyllum, which can increase the content of antioxidants in human cells and help improve brain function; Schisandra chinensis can regulate the function of cerebral cortex, enhance the vitality of brain cells, improve attention and thinking endurance, and improve memory. It should be noted that the prevention and treatment of brain aging should be based on non-drug measures, supplemented by appropriate drugs or health care products, and should follow the guidance of doctors. Although brain aging is an inevitable physiological process and an irresistible natural law, countless old wise men in history and reality have shown that it is always possible to prevent and delay brain aging as long as the methods are proper and the measures are effective. "Sang Yu is late and the clouds are still full." Girl friends, a menopausal woman, cheer up and meet the challenge of life.
