      The following are the tips experts says are the real strategies quaranteed to keep your memory quick, agile and sharp.

• Check your Iron
     Iron helps in neurotransmitters essential to memory and to function properly and your brain can be sensitive to low amount.

A poor diet or heavy menstrual periods, such as those during per menopause can cause your iron level to drop and this is enough to affect your recall or retaintive capabilities when you are given a memory test.

• A person who does not get enough iron through diets can consider taking a multivitamin with 8mg of iron (8mg for post menopausal women) and if you still suspect you are low, ask your doctor for blood test to check your ferrite level which will reveal even a moderate iron deficiency.

2. UNDIVIDED MINDSET

we all multitask, but do you know that that listening or watching a news while reading limits how well you are able to recall both? Normally, when you take in new information, you process it with part of the brain called THE CEREBRAL CORTEX. But multitasking greatly reduces learning because people can't attend to the relevant information, that's because the brain is forced to switch PROCESSING to and area called STRATAM and the information stored here tend to contain fewer important details.

The simple solution to this type of problem is just to pay undivided attention to whatever you desire to recall after reading.

3. REFRESH YOUR MIND

      Do you know that meditation can reduce stress, which research shows can damage brain cells and ability to retain information overtime. But ancient practice can do more than just sooth your soul: it may also sharpen your memory. According to a university of Kentucky study, subjects who took a late afternoon test after meditating for 40minutes had significantly better score than those who napped for some period. But the question remains "how could that be? "

Meditation like sleep, reduces sensory input and this state may provide a time for neurons to process and solidify new information and memories.
Brain scan has revealed that meditation produces a state somewhat similar to non-rem sleep (which many specialists believe is the more mentally restorative sleep phrase) However, unlike when you sleep, consciousness is fully maintained in meditation, so there is no grogginess upon awakening.

Anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, anti-spasmodics, beta-blocker, chemotherapy, Parkinson's medications, sleeping pills, ulcer medications, painkillers, antihistamines and even stating can all affect your memory. Speaking with your doctor about adjusting your dose or switching medications is often a simple solutions to this.

5. TAKE AN APPLE

        A couple of apples a day keep the neurologist away. Apple have just the right dose of antioxidants to raise levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that's essential to memory and tends to decline with age. An expert TOM SHEA, PHD, Director of university of Massachusetts Lowell, centre for cellular neurobiology and neurodegeneration research
In addition, antioxidants in apples helps to preserve memory by protecting brain cells against damages from free radicals created by everyday metabolic actions, such as the processing of glucose by the body cells. A memory boost when a Daily Dose of apple juice is consumed .

6. BELIEVE IN YOUR BRAINS

        Always believe that you've been created by God to be the best and always see yourself as being the best. Do you find yourself worrying about forgetfulness? Give it up! Any anxiety you you feel about occasionally, later in life may actually make it worse. In a recent North Carolina state University study published in psychology and Aging, healthy older folks scored poorly on memory test after being informed that their aging causes forgetfulness. When another group was told that theirs wasn't much of a decline in their recall abilities with age, however, they scored 15% higher even better than a controlled group told nothing about their memory and age.

Believing in negative stereotypes can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, that's bad because your memory probably isn't nearly as bad as you fear it is.

7. HIGH-TECH YOUR BRAIN

          Experts says playing video games especially those designed to improve your focus could have the indirect effect of getting your memory in shape. Whenever you solve puzzles or do brainteasers, you are making the connections between your neurons work more effectively, which is like putting money into the bank, but if you get too good at one game quickly proceed to another level or try a new one all together.
       Your brain is very much like muscle and it need constant challenge to grow. Also flex your noodles by doing cross puzzles and brainteaser for an our daily and drink red wine while playing the puzzle to calm your brain down.
