What should I do if my child is forgetful and has memory loss?

For children who need to study regularly, memory is very important. Because only when your memory is enhanced can you master more knowledge. However, many parents find that their children seem to have poor memory. They have forgotten the knowledge points taught by the teacher during the day by the evening, and their academic performance is very poor. So the question is, what should we do if our children are forgetful and have memory loss?

Forgetfulness means memory loss. In traditional Chinese medicine, the strength of memory is determined by the function of the spleen. People with strong spleen function have good memory, fast memorization, and can even remember everything they see. People with weak spleen have poor memory, slow memorization, but fast forgetting. They may remember something with great difficulty but forget it after a few days. For example, when reciting a text, it takes me longer than others to remember the same paragraph, and I forget it faster than others.

Only by improving the function of the spleen can you have quick thinking and good memory.

There are three main steps to strengthen the spleen.

Step 1: Eat barley and millet porridge twice a week, boil water with Poria cocos and drink it instead of tea, and eat walnuts and dates frequently, as they can strengthen the spleen, refresh the brain, and improve memory.

Step 2: Do more activities, whether it’s walking, running, playing ball, swimming, shopping, or doing housework, as long as you can exercise. Exercise can promote blood circulation and also promote the metabolism of body fluids, which is essential for improving spleen function. People with poor spleen usually have insufficient qi and blood, lack vitality, do not like exercise, and like to lie down or sit. However, the less active the spleen is, the worse its function becomes, creating a vicious cycle.

We all have this experience: after working at a desk for a long time, we feel that our brains are almost slow to work and our work efficiency has almost dropped to zero. But if we get up and move around for an hour and then come back to work, we will feel refreshed and our efficiency will improve. This shows that exercise can effectively improve the function of the spleen.

Step 3: Think less. Worrying is the most harmful to the spleen. Most forgetful people have heavy work and study burdens. Their brains are thinking about problems all day long and are never idle, so the function of the spleen gradually declines.
