Does this scenario seem familiar? You jump out of the car to rush back into the house only to stand in the middle of the room in attempt to remember what you needed in the first place. Does this sound familiar. As we get older, our memory does have a tendency to escape us. It is normal but it can also be helped. Your brain is a muscle that has to be exercised. Just as your work out your body, you must continue to feed and exercise your mind.
There are several ways to increase your memory. Here are a few:
1. Play a game of BINGO! Number recognition stimulates memory.
2. Try a word game.
3. Connect a puzzle.
4. Play card games.
5. Don’t skimp on sleep.
6. Check your stress.
7. Eat foods that boost your memory power. Incorporate more fruits and vegetables and Omega 3’s.
8. Have a glass of wine. Having a glass of wine in moderation will help with memory and cognition.
9. Rehearse information that you have already learned.
