Several
researches have shown the impact of some certain things on the brain power and
memory boost. Here are those tips and supplements that can increase the memory;
Supplements: Few supplements are known to encourage
the growth of new neurons and decrease substances that can inhibit cognitive
function. The gold standard is fish oil, which has been associated with
lowering the risk of dementia because it contains DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid
that decreases the production of memory-inhibiting substances in the brain and
that may be involved in the formation of new neurons.
Vitamin D
may also work, since it “stimulates the growth of new neurons and helps clear
protein abnormalities associated with diseases that affect memory, such as
dementia. You might also consider folic acid, B6, and B12 complex.
Meditate:
Meditation improves your concentration and focus, which benefits memory. In
addition, meditation has been shown to reduce stress, which can do a number on
memory.
When we’re under stress, our
body and brain release hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and
corticotropin-releasing hormone, which in short bursts can help us fight or
flee danger. But when you’re stressed-out over long periods of time, these
hormones change the structure of the hippocampus, destroying nerve endings
involved in information flow. A study released last year showed that subjects
who performed a 12-minute chanting meditation once a day for eight weeks saw
marked improvement in their memory and increased blood flow in the areas of the
brain used in a variety of memory tasks.
Do something out of the ordinary: New experiences, such as taking a
different route to work, can also improve recall. Our brains are constantly
deciding what’s important enough to remember and what can be tossed away.
