Morning all! How about some ways to boost your memory? Take a walk - frequent moderate exercise is better than short bursts of intense activity - this increases fresh oxygen to the body cells, and therefore the brain! Deep breathing - deep and slow breathing will help with relaxation as stress scrambles the memory Dont just look - next time you leave a room try to remember where the furniture was and how many pictures on the walls as this teaches your brain to focus. Learn a language - this uses different parts of the brain and enhances cognitive function. Multitask - make your brain do at least two things at once! Switch off the satnav! - try relying on your brain to get you to where you need to go! Mess with your mind - use your non-dominant hand for everyday tasks. This stimulates interaction between the two hemispheres of the brain meaning that new neural pathways develop. Eat right - choose mediterranean type diet which is rich in veg and low in red meat. Intake of omega 3 fatty acid is crucial to prevent or at least delay Alzheimers. According to studies, oily fish is high in Omega 3, while nuts, kale and spinach contain smaller amounts. Enjoy!
