Simple doses of medicine to cure the ill-advised

One of the most effective "medicine" for the blind is to walk 30 minutes in the sun.

The study has just been published in the journal Cell by China University of Science and Technology.

Animal testing gave a group of mice exposed to UVB rays, a short-wave ultraviolet light in sunlight, with a time of 2 hours in the laboratory, equivalent to a 30-minute walk in the sun. The group of mice was then evaluated for brain activity.

Enjoying the sun with just the right amount of time and the right time can help you treat amnesia - (artwork from the internet).

Results showed that sunlight exposure increased urocanic acid levels in rat blood. This substance metabolizes in the brain into glutamate, a neurotransmitter that is released in the cortex and strongly affects the hippocampus. The hippocampus, or hippocampus, is the main responsible for long-term memory.

In addition, the mouse group also significantly improved motor skills and identification. Sunlight also helps synthesize vitamin D and improve mood and increase the secretion of happy endorphin hormones.

The lead author Xiong Wei told China Daily that they are gradually demonstrating the same effect on mice as humans. This study aims to find ways to prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease before they destroy the brain.

However, scientists note that you should only get enough sun exposure, especially this summer to prevent harms. Outdoor activities should be limited from 10 to 16 hours, the time when the sun's ultraviolet rays are most active.

Other idiosyncratic treatments

  1. Sex and romance : the study of the University of Wollongong (Australia) shows that neurons in this brain region will be stimulated by regular sexual intercourse, embrace and romantic thoughts.
  2. Get enough sleep and don't forget to take a nap : this will help this brain area to be cleaned up, remove temporary memories that are unimportant and ready to receive new things, according to a study by the University of California (USA).
  3. Working in a well-lit place : Michigan State University (USA) shows that poor light reduces neurotrophic, a substance that maintains the connection of healthy neurons in the hippocampus. Just 4 weeks of poor light exposure, you will lose 30% of memory and learning performance.
  4. Drinking orange juice : a study by the University of Reading (UK) shows that flavonoids with a lot of oranges will trigger signals in the hippocampus that make it work more smoothly.
