How to Improve Memory?

1. If you want to memorize something it should be memorable. Associate whatever it is you need to remember with, whatever you think of instantly. For instance, you meet a person named Jan, you think January. Use that way to remember that person’s name.

2. Take the words/items you need to remember and make them into a story or visualize a picture of it. i.e. if you need to go to the pet store and also need to pick up soft drinks and get a passport photo, you can picture your dog wandering around with a bottle of soft drinks and traveling the world.

3. Human mind can remember about 7 things at a time, so if you are given a string of 12 numbers, you should memorize by the following way:
Example:
198823975015
1988 =(The year when I was born)
239 =23-9 (is my birthday)
750 =(gm. cake have to buy)
15 =(guests will come)

4. Most of what we learn is forgotten within 24 hours.

But if you review it one hour later or, one day later or after a longer period then this is the basis for long term memorizing ability.

Many ways used by people to perform activities or how to add memory as follows:


Relaxation on a regular basis

One of the most effective way to improve memory is trying to relax muscle tension throughout the body before learning something new. According to experts, muscle relaxation can reduce the anxiety that often one feels when trying to learn something new.


Listen to classical music

According to Drs. Ranscher and Dr Frances. Gordon Show, researchers from the University of California, USA, people who often listen to classical music would have increased the ability of reasoning. According to the author of The Mozart Effect, Don Campbell, listening to classical music will also help memory and learning.

Organizing your mind

Establish the sequence information (classified information) will make things easier to remember. It will also facilitate the brain to recall what they have learned and known.

Keep your health
Certainly, health problems can disrupt memory. A study showed that in a period of 25 years, men with hypertension will lose their cognitive abilities up to twice the normal blood pressure than men. Research also shows that at the age of 70s, the person will not be easy to decreased cognitive abilities if they remain physically active.

Challenge yourself

The brain produces a chemical neurotransmitter that carries messages between cells involved in memory. The availability of this neurotransmitter increases when the brain is often used to solve the challenges that require troubleshooting.

Enough sleepLack of sleep can reduce a person’s ability to remember complex information. Research at the University de Lille, France, indicates that the brain needs sleep to maintain the ability to remember complex information.

Eat in moderation, less fat, drink

Choose foods low in fat and low in calories, and increase drinking water. White water to aid digestion and breathing, increase the bearing capacity of oxygen in the blood, and maintain cell health.

Involve your emotions

Because the increase in the memory of an event closely associated with increased emotion. And the experience of involving the emotions will be easier to remember than ordinary experience.

Develop sensory acuityTry to practice observation skills and learn to pay attention to something by using all our senses. If you want to remember something, stop for a moment, watch and record what we want to see.

Develop a positive mental attitude

Replace any negative mental attitude or self-criticism into a positive attitude, because it will generate the confidence that positive effect on memory.

Regular exercise

In addition to improving physical strength, exercise can also help us to ensure the memory functions of oxygen and blood supply to the brain. Exercise also stimulates endorphins, the neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure, which can increase the fun and becomes the trigger for learning and memory.

Rest enough

No less important is rest enough. So that brain function can be maximized, the brain needs to rest to precipitate and consolidate memories. Rest of the brain required varies, depending on the complexity and newness of information, and experiences of people concerned. A good way is give the brain a rest period of 3 to 10 minutes after brain activity for 10 to 50 minutes.
