CHAPTER 5: Going Beyond Your Memory Limitations

As described in previous chapter, you can improve your memory by dealing with biological factors that might hinder your memory. What neural network theory teaches us is that due to our brain’s neuroplasticity, we can learn and improve our memory at any age. This is especially important for elderly people who want to keep their memory sharp and combat the natural neural decline that happens with age.

Factors that affect our memory the most, as we mentioned previously - stress, sleep and diet – are all something that are under your control. The best way to combat everyday stress is by having positive mindset. Relaxation and learning breathing techniques can help you a great deal as well when combating stress. There is no sure way to avoid stress in your life completely, but research has shown that some amount of stress can, in fact, act positively on your memory, as mentioned in the previous chapter.

Getting a good night of sleep is vital for your memory. That’s because our everyday experiences consolidate into memories while we sleep and also your attention will be at its highest when you’re rested. That way you’ll be able to process more information and memorize them faster. You’ll learn new things much faster if you’re rested and at full attention, than if you’re cranky and sleepy.

Good diet, especially diets rich in nutrients that boosts your brain power, is essential for good memory. Vitamin B12 will keep your neurons healthy and able to make new neural connections, as well as will omega 3 fatty acids. There are also supplements such as Ginkgo Biloba that allows better blood circulation. The more new oxygenated blood that comes to your brain, the better your brain and memory function.

There are also specific tricks and techniques that you can use to memorize certain types of information, and I’ll give you a few examples below:
