Simple Natural Ways to Improve Your Memory

 “To ensure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life.” -William Londen

Simple Natural Ways to Improve Your Memory

1. Eat Less Added Sugar

Research has shown that people who regularly

consume lots of added sugar may have poorer memories and lower brain volumes

than those who consume less sugar.

2. Try a Fish Oil Supplement

Fish and fish oil supplements are rich in the

omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Consuming them may help improve short-term,

working and episodic memory, especially in older people.

3. Make Time for Meditation

Meditation isn’t just good for your body —

it’s also good for your brain. Research suggests meditation may increase gray

matter in the brain and improve spatial working memory.

4. Maintain a Healthy Weight

Obesity is a risk factor for cognitive

decline. Maintaining a body mass index within the normal range may help you

avoid a host of issues associated with obesity, including a poorer memory.

5. Get Enough Sleep

Studies have consistently associated

sufficient sleep with better memory performance. Sleep helps consolidate

memories. You’re also likely to perform better on memory tests if you’re well

rested than if you’re sleep deprived.

6. Practice Mindfulness

Practicing mindfulness techniques has been

associated with increased memory performance. Mindfulness is also linked to

reduced age-related cognitive decline.

7. Drink Less Alcohol

Alcohol has neurotoxic effects on the brain,

including reducing memory performance. Occasional moderate drinking isn’t an

issue, but binge drinking can damage your hippocampus, a key area of your brain

associated with memory.

8. Train Your Brain

Games that challenge your brain may help you

strengthen your memory and may even reduce the risk of dementia. keep reading more
