how to improve our memory?
959191
Simply put, just memorize more and more often. Look at something every day for 30 mins and chances are, you will remember it.\n\nYou can also use visual cues to memorize something. For example, if you have to go golfing, out to dinner, and buy a hat, you might think about a guy wearing a hat, swinging a golf club, with a piece of food in his mouth, then you'll remember all three.\n\nAlso, understanding is an important part. If you understand what a definition means, then you'll remember it better. Write down that definition and say it aloud just as often as you read it, and you'll remember 3x better than if you had just scanned it over.\n\nAs for diet, it doesn't really matter. Try to eat something healthy, that will get the body fuels pumping. Plenty of sleep, and you'll remember.

Well, most of the dreams I have early in the night I forget, but I tend to remember the last one or two I had before I wake up.\n\nOne good strategy to improve dream recall is to keep your eyes closed after you wake up, and not to be awoken by surprise (alarm clock, parent, annoying roommate, etc).\n\nAnother neat thing you can do is keep a dream journal. Not only is this useful for boosting dream recall, but it can also help you see patterns in your dreams (dream signs, so to speak). You can then use these to identify when you're dreaming, which can lead to lucid dreaming.

Concentration issues stem from numerous things. Too much caffeine, being ADD, or vitamin deficiencies can all cause you to not perform at your best.\n\nI recommend taking at the very least, one multivitamin a day to start. Also, regular exercise has proven to increase bloodflow to the brain which, in turn, increases memory retention. Finally there are a number of activities which help as well, I'll list a few here:\n\n- Crossword puzzles are very good for maintaining mental health.\n- Mental association exercises. You will need to get a book or do further research on this one. But there are mental tricks you can use to remember names, lists of objects, and so on. For instance, I use a name association to remember people's names. I think of some outstanding feature of a person when I meet them and integrate it (mentally) with their name. That and I repeat the name a few times in conversation. That is just one item though.\n- There are also a new breed of drugs hitting the market. Do a search for "smart drugs" or nootropics. This is a strange area but some people swear by the stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if it really booms in the next few years.

Wow!..Law!!..you need to remember lots of things then..I'm a student myself...but, I believed that if you are really interested with what you are doing, it's easier to understand what you are learning, thus leading to easier to recall it. But, to really test yourself if you really want to have a good memory, you must always test your brain, think!, think!, think!. Our brain are much more better at storing info when compared to computers.\nTry this: Every time you red something, understands it, and try to write it all over again, without looking at the book again...Understand is important, this will help you remember better. I've also been practicing eating beans, make it like once a week, heard that they help improving our memory.

Yes there are a few. I have this game called Brain Age for the DS and it gives you exerises to do to improve memory. Read out loud the faster you read the more your mind works doing this 2-5 times a week will help your memory. Doing simple math problems quickly. And playing suduko, crossword puzzles, and chess will also help you with memory. Also drinking ginsin and other vitiams and herbs will help keep your brain healthy. Call your local health food store they can tell you which ones.

Basically, anything that exercises your memory skills will help to improve them.\n\nThere are also mental tricks you can do to help yourself. Find ways of associating new things you want to remember with things that are important to you, and particularly if you can find a visualization for it, or relate it to a well known rhyme or song.  If you just meet someone and want to remember their name, try to associate them with someone else you already know by that name, including celebrities, etc.\n\nAs far as physiology goes, eat right, exercise, get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, take multivitamins daily, and - oddly enough - floss daily.  The reason for the last one is that studies have linked cardiovascular health to dental health (which is cause, which is effect?  who knows), and cardio health has been linked to mental acuity.

Most research suggest that sleep might be the best remedy. That does not mean that you need to sleep 10 hrs a day. Just find the right balance for you. If you have the luxury to do so, go to bed at the same time every night and dont use an alarm. Your body will wake itself up when it needs to. Try to keep a regular routine so that your body does not over tire any day. Soon you will know how much sleep you need to get good rest and improve memory.\nAlso....drink loads of water and have a hearty breakfast\nCheers

memory has to do with how you store the information in your mind, and strategies you have for recall.  There are very easy ways to accomplish this, and have easy, long-term recall of school data. Email me at coach4learn@yahoo.com and Id be happy to give you more info on that.\n\nP.S. Im a vegetarian too!!!

Well...best way to get better doing something is practice...but short of that, here are some tips.\nWhen you study, try and give yourself little breaks. Work for 15 min., do something else for 7. Repeat.\nMemorizing...think of something it relates to.\nWhen you need to remember something, think back to seomthing that happened in real life that relates/is similar.

Try to eat three portions of oily fish each week e.g. tuna or salmon.  If you don't like these then take omega 3 or cod liver oil tablets on a regular basis.  Also, exercise the brain regularly by doing puzzles every day i.e. crosswords, sudoki, etc.  Try not to get stressed too because that causes memory loss; you often find you can't remember things when you are going through a stressful time.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Don't take rat poison. The drugs you take  may give you temporary enhancement of memory but there is always a price to pay. As defined by the FDA, a drug has to kill a rat to be defined as a drug. \n\nFood is important. Eat foods with good fat such as almonds, walnuts, and avocados.\n\nTake a good B-Complex Vitamins, Vitamin E, Flax Seeds, EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) \n\nEat green vegetable.\n\nDrink antioxidant gree tea\n\nEat food your gut tells you to rat and not  what is pushed in front of your. "Educating instead of medicating" is the way to go.\nhttp://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_105441.html?nav_src=newsIndexHeadline\nYour gut may believe you don't need memory to live the lifestyle it is living. Coach it into where you want it to go and it will respond. Show your gut you want to improve your memory by feeding it what it needs to improve memory.\n\nAlmonds\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=125&i=13\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=198&i=3\n\nBlueberries & Tumeric\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=15\n\nGotu Kola and Bacopa\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=17\n\nRhodiola Root & Polygonatum Sibericum Root\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=78&i=37\n\nGingko Biloba \nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=10\n\nOmega 3 Fatty Acids\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=11\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=7\n\nWithania somnifera/ Shilajit\nhttp://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=491&i=2

try using images to improve your memory.  If you can connect something you want to remember with some visual mental picture sometimes it helps.  And the more ridiculous the better usually.  Example...  I want to remember a ladies name "Madge Baskum" I picture her wearing a badge and carrying a basket.   Badge Basket=Madge Baskum, it helps me anyway, hope it helps.

Exercise your mind by learning new things, stay active, eat food rich in anti-oxidants, and spend time with your close friends.  All these things have been proven by research to slow memory loss and lead to a happier life.

Well it depends on if you want to improve your long term memory or your short term memory - they're separate entities.  I suggest looking into some psychology texts in your local library.\n\nMemory is all about practise - it's like learning your times tables when you're young.  Repetition is a good way to do it, but is more suited to memorising something specific.\n\nRemove as many outside distractions as possible when trying to learn something, or else your focus will be split in several directions.
