1

Watch what you eat

Cut out sugar. Consuming foods with too much sugar is linked to many health issues, including cognitive decline.

2

Meditate

Not only does it reduce stress, lower blood pressure and help you be more self-aware, but meditation has also been shown to increase gray matter and improve memory.

3

Exercise

Being fit has many benefits, but staying in shape and getting regular exercise can boost your memory too! Studies show that regular exercise can lead to better recall. Even a quick walk can ignite the brain and promote better memory.

4

Play brain games

Like muscles, your mind needs exercise. You don’t need high-tech gaming devices. Stuff as simple as crosswords and sudokus are great ways to stay sharp and strengthen your memory.

5

Sleep more, remember more

Sleep is a vital part of having a good memory. When you sleep, your mind is able to consolidate memories, packing them away for better recall. Even a short nap can help you remember things you’ve just learned.
