Answer:
- Omega 3 oil capsules help improve the memory and eating oil rich fish such as salmon and tuna also help. Remember to drink the minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. Your brain is nearly all water and needs proper hydration to work properly.
- Along with nutrition, you need to understand how your memory works. Your mind isn't built to remember abstract information, it is built to deal with images, feelings, sounds, smells, etc... There are great systems that can teach you to turn information into images, which are easy to memorize and retain. You can remember anything, with the right skill and training.
- Great memory is a skill that can be developed with training. You can take a memory improvement course that not only teaches memorization techniques, but also focuses on developing the skills necessary to memorize quickly and efficiently.
- There are a myriad of helps available to better utilize your memory, both in general, and in specific applications. Mnemonic devices can be used to remember anything from names and phone numbers to foreign words, mathematical formulas, and complex terminology.
- When you have something you need to remember, try linking it to something familiar:
- If you meet someone named Jack, you could imagine him tumbling down a hill with Jill.
- If you need to learn the Spanish word for dog, you could imagine a pair o'(pair of) dogs playing cards. (Perro)
- If you need to remember SOH CAH TOA for trigonometry, you can think of 'Some Old Hippie Caught A High Tripping On Acid', or think of Sohcahtoa, Sacajawea's grand-daughter.
- You can search for 'mnemonic devices' or 'mnemonic aids/helps/tips' along with your area of study to find help. You can also seek a training program for improving your memory.
- Nutrition and physical health are also very important to healthy brain function. Make sure you stay hydrated, eat healthy foods, and get proper rest and exercise.
- Avoid excess stress. The gluco-corticoids produced by your body under stress can stimulate your memory for exams and tests, but prolonged exposure can cause damage and aging to your hippocampus, and other areas of your brain/body.
- Get enough sleep. Starting and ending your day right is also very helpful - that you get by sleeping properly. If you have sleeping problems, try gadgets to help you sleep, do not take prescription drugs.
- Memory is like a muscle that can be trained to become stronger. Just like you do physical training at the gym, you can do mental gymnastics with crosswords puzzles, mental games, etc. You need to also augment this with a good diet and other healthy habits such as regular exercise, managing stress and a good night's sleep!
