There are a number of everyday strategies that can improve your memory naturally—and protect against memory loss as you age. But while many products are marketed as all-natural memory aids, only a few natural remedies have been found to improve memory in scientific studies. To keep your mind sharp as you grow older, and possibly reduce your risk of aging-related conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, stick to a health routine that pairs brain-boosting behaviors with natural approaches proven to improve memory.
Antioxidants
Following a diet high in antioxidants may help shield brain cells from aging-related damage. Since studies on the health effects of antioxidant supplements have yielded mixed results, many medical experts recommend increasing your intake by including antioxidant-rich foods in your diet.
Omega-3 fatty
Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids (a type of healthy fat with inflammation-fighting effects) may help slow cognitive decline in older adults, according to a research review published in 2009. Widely available in supplement form, omega-3s are also found naturally in foods like fish, nuts, and flaxseed.
Herbs and minerals
Research suggests that pairing ginkgo biloba may help enhance cognitive function and improve memory in middle-aged adults. The amino acid, L-Arginine is well-known to instigate the production of nitric oxide, which helps to improve blood circulation, especially to the brain.
Manna blood circulation support have Ginkgo Biloba and L-Arginine to help boost your memory. Rhodiola Rosea is a herb that works by supporting the adrenals.
More ways to improve memory
Along with following a healthy diet, these practices are considered essential in preserving brain health and improving your memory:
• getting regular exercise (especially cardiovascular exercise).
• maintaining social connections.
• managing your stress (through mind-body techniques like deep breathing, for instance).
• keeping your mind stimulated with challenging activities (such as doing a crossword puzzle or learning to play a musical instrument).
Talk to your doctor before you take any medication.
