10 Easy Ways to Improve YOUR Memory

1. Sleep

If you don't get enough sleep this will definately affect your memory and it has been scientifically proven that if you take a quick nap after studying, this will actually help you to process the information and remember it better than someone who doesn't take a nap (now you never have to feel guilty again for dozing off during your study).

2. Eat Healthy

If you eat too much or eat too much sugary foods, this will actually divert blood from your brain to your stomach. You should never eat while studying, especially eating lollies/candy.

3. Believe in Yourself

Make a decision today that YOU can remember. You CAN remember. Most of us think we can't so we don't even try. But your brain is a powerful computer able to store and retrieve information. Don't underestimate yourself.

4. Use Color

I have everything color coded. You'll be surprised how much this actually works.

5. Use Your Imagination

Use lots of dramatic imagination when trying to remember something. I made up a whole fairy tale story in order to remember glycolysis and it worked so well.

6. Listen to Mozart

According to researchers, Mozart helps the brain to remember far more than any other type of music, even other music that sounds like Mozart. Strange but true.

7. Vitamin C

Researchers found that children who were given vitamin C were able to remember more than children who weren't by up to 100%. Chewing 1000mg per day is the recommended dose.

8. Phenyalanine

This is an amino acid used to sweeten some sugarless products like chewing gum. You shouldn't eat too much of this though 'cos I found out the hard way that it's a laxative (and it really, really IS a laxative). But apparently eating phenylalanine also improves memory. But you shouldn't chew on gum while studying, this will divert brain from the blood to your stomach and you don't want that.

9. Exercise

Scientifically proven that even if you do easy exercise like yoga, you will improve your memory. The more aerobic the better though as this circulates oxygen to the brain.

10. Laugh

I don't know if this has been scientifically proven but I do seem to remember more when I'm in a good mood. So I advise finding ways to make yourself laugh and de-stress.
