Tips for improving your memory

Tips for improving your memory

1. Sleep well:

• If we don't sleep properly, we "lose" many of our memories
• 

2. Do physical exercise

• 
• When you exercise, more oxygen goes to your brain and that makes your memory work better.

3. Do mental exercise

• 
• It is important to exercise your brain just like your body. New activities are more challenging than familiar ones.

4. Be interested

• 
• Ask yourself questions about what you are learning. We learn better if we are interested.

5. Keep reviewing

• 
• Review information regularly rather than trying to remember it all at once.

6. Have a cup of coffee

• 
• Caffeine, like exercise, sends oxygen to your brain and helps you concentrate.

7. Form a mental picture

• For example, if you want to remember the name "John Keys", imagine his face with a big key on it. The stranger the picture the better!
• 

8. Have a laugh

9. Eat right

• 
• Fresh vegetables are essential, as are healthy fats and avoiding sugar and grain carbohydrates.
