Factors of poor concentration (Adrien NZAYISENGA)

These are five common habits and factors that can impact someone's ability to concentrate on the routinely actvities: 1.Distraction 2.Insufficient sleep 3.Insufficient physical activity 4.Poor eating habits 5. Environmental factors 1. Distraction We are bombarded by a constant flow of information, whether new or old, during the process of doing something. Researchers have found that our brains are so primed for this distraction that just seeing our smartphone impairs our ability to concentrate. We constantly assess whether the information is useful, sufficient, or meaningless. The sheer quantity coming in muddles our assessment of whether we actually need more information to make decisions. It's better to choose the information needed and what is uncessary so that you might not spend your time to it because the world of to day has more information and what is not necessary to you. 2. Insufficient sleep Scientists have found that lack of sleep can lead to lower alertness, slower thought processes, and reduced concentration. You will have more difficulty focusing your attention and may become confused. As a result, your ability to perform tasks especially relating to reasoning or logic can be seriously affected. Chronically poor sleep further affects your concentration and memory. Dr. Allison T. Siebern from the Stanford University Sleep Medicine Centre notes that if you cannot concentrate on what is at hand, it is unlikely to make it to either your short- or long-term memory. 3. Insufficient physical activity Have you ever noticed how vigorous exercise leaves you feeling more relaxed and energetic throughout the day? When you don’t do physical activity, your muscles can become tense. You may feel tightness in your neck, shoulder, and chest and such persistent, low-level discomfort can affect your concentration. 4. Poor eating habits What we eat contributes to how we feel, including our mental sharpness and clarity, throughout the day. If we don’t fuel our brains with the proper nutrients, we start to experience symptoms like memory loss, fatigue, and lack of concentration. Low-fat diets can ruin focus because the brain needs certain essential fatty acids. Other restrictive diets may negatively affect concentration by not providing the nutrients the brain needs or by creating hunger, cravings, or feeling of unwellness in the body that are themselves distracting. 5. Environmental factors Depending on what you are doing, the environment can affect your focus. Obviously, a noise level that is too loud is a problem to your mind concentration, but many people also have difficulty concentrating when it is too quiet. It isn’t just the overall noise level but the type of noise that matters: the high-energy, anonymous hum of a coffee shop might bring focus while the overheard conversation of two co-workers derails it. A favorite song quickly has you singing along, happily distracted, while less distinct instrumentals might keep you attuned to the task. Lighting that is too bright or too dim can affect your vision. A room that is too hot or too cold creates discomfort. All of these elements can affect your concentration. Happily, they are also all addressable. The advise to these hinderances of concentration including avoiding any distraction either by your phone, multitasking at your work, slepping enough time as relaxed well, doing sport is very important to somebody wants to increase concentration and avoid psychological disorder, consumption of nutrients foods that regulate the flow of the bloods in the body.
