Preparing Your Brain to Remember

A popular subject on this site is your memory, along with all the natural things you can do to improve it.

There are a number of good ways to keep your mind sharp and active no matter how old you are. Just as your mind can be consciously primed in advance, your body can be similarly primed with proper care to keep your brain in the best working order it can be.

One inexpensive, practical solution to improving your memory is to optimize your sleep.

Sleep plays an important role in your long-term memory, and is without a doubt one of the absolute essential requirements if you are ever to achieve optimal wellness. Conversely, while catching the recommended amount of shut-eye can have beneficial implications on you overall health and well being, not getting enough sleep can certainly take its toll on your health.

Another amazing inexpensive solution to improve your memory is to make sure you take enough fish or cod liver oil. Your brain is made up of 60 percent fat and half of that fat is DHA, one of the primary fatty acids in fish or cod liver oil. I am continually impressed how many of my patients experience dramatic improvement in their memory once they start increasing their fish or cod liver oil.

While you are thinking about dietary solutions to improve your memory it would be wise to consider adding raw egg yolks to your diet.

They are loaded with vital nutrients like phosphatidyl choline and serine that have been well documented to improve your memory. I have been using three or four raw egg yolks every day for the last several years now and can't say enough good things about it.

You shoud seriously consider stopping or dramatically reducing your sugar intake, as that has been strongly associated with a reduction in memory capacity.

Other useful ways to retain optimal memory skills include the same safe and natural guidelines I also recommend to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Here are a few definitely worth considering:

• Eat a nutritious diet, while increasing your intake of fresh vegetables high in folate.

• Start an exercise program today!

• Challenge your mind.
  
  
• Avoid and remove mercury from your body.

• Try Wild Blueberry IQ, made from wild blueberries, which have high anthocyanin and antioxidant content that are known to guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
