Patient's question:
Is it low intelligence? Now I often forget this and that, things I just remembered just now, and now I forget them. When I was young, I was super fast at calculating math problems, but now I spend ages and still can't solve them. Is it low intelligence? Should I eat some brain foods?Doctor's answer:
This has nothing to do with twisting the IQ. There are several reasons for memory decline. As people age, their memory naturally gets worse. In our daily lives, we can appropriately digest nutrients like proteins, trace elements, and vitamins. When necessary, we can also quit smoking and drinking. Regarding the issue of frequently forgetting things, it's important not to be overly (attached) or anxious—just let it be. In daily life, pay attention to developing good habits, avoid overtime work, as overtime is one of the main culprits in memory decline, and ensure adequate nutrient intake. This can also include eating more foods like walnuts.
