The number of people who complain about a bad memory is growing all over the world. Scientists have decided once again to come up with explanations: do not buy vitamins and nootropics!.

Recent studies have shown that 14 percent of young men and women between the ages of 18 and 39 complain of a bad memory.

But this does not mean that they have problems with the vessels of the brain!.

Researchers argue that stress and multitasking - the main components of the modern way of life can be to blame for this.

To study the impact of lifestyle on memory throughout adulthood, researchers at the University of California analyzed the results of a survey of 18,500 people aged 18 to 99 years.

A higher than expected percentage of young people complained about memory impairment.

Analyzing the way of life of the respondents, scientists came to the conclusion that new information technologies - including the Internet, text messages and wireless devices, lead to constant multitasking.

This affects the duration of concentration, worsens the person's ability to remember information.

Therefore, vitamins and popular pills for improving memory do not work - the brain needs rest, and not in any additional substances.
