If you are worried about ageyour memory can weaken significantly, then we are ready to reassure you. There are several ways in which you can significantly improve your brain function right at home, without seeking help from specialists. You won’t have to spend too much time on this, and you won’t have to buy any expensive products. Everything will be very simple! The main thing is to set a goal and firmly move towards its implementation. Well, let’s take everything in order.

When you need something to remember quickly

It happens that the memory has not yet weakened, but withproblems with memorization still arise. In this case, you need to learn how to properly organize the memorization process itself. There are some methods that will help you quickly memorize and then just as quickly recall the necessary information. You have probably encountered one of them in life, you just did not know that this is the very method. Its essence is to superimpose the information that needs to be remembered on some specific images, and then link them together. Let us explain how this looks in practice. For example, you are sitting in line at the hairdresser's. In order not to get bored, you leaf through a magazine, and out of the corner of your ear you hear a song being sung on the radio. A few days later, you hear the same song again, and lines and pictures from the article that you read at the hairdresser's while this melody was playing involuntarily pop up in your memory. Moreover, you did not even intend to remember it - the picture popped into your head by itself, without any effort on your part. Associative memory simply worked automatically. The same principle is used for consciously memorizing the necessary information. Let's give an example. Let's say you want to send a birthday greeting to your friend by e-mail, but you can't remember her e-mail address while you're at work. And you really don't want to miss her party, leaving her without a greeting! But you're afraid that when you return home tired from work, you'll simply forget to send the greeting. Do the following: imagine your friend as if you were looking at her photo: her eyes, her smile, her dress. Having drawn a bright picture in your imagination, mentally place it on the computer monitor that is at your home. Try to "see" the photo on your monitor as clearly as possible. When you return home and glance at your computer, the picture that you mentally drew for yourself during the day will immediately pop into your memory, and you will immediately remember your friend and the need to congratulate her on the holiday. Memorizing numbers is also not difficult at all. Just visualize the number you need as an image. For example, you need to remember the number 249. Imagine this number in your mind as if it were written in a three-dimensional 3D font. Add some color: imagine that the numbers not only have volume, but also rotate around their axis, and each number has its own color. Or maybe they are illuminated or glow with neon light themselves. Or are entwined with flowers. In short, come up with the picture that you like the most and firmly associate it with the numbers you want to remember. When you need to reproduce them, you will first remember the picture, and then the numbers themselves will appear before your mind's eye. These are the simple ways you can quickly improve your memory and make the memorization process easier.

How to improve memory in general

There are simple ones, literally three minutes longexercises that you can do at home to improve your memory. Here, for example, is the first exercise: take eight playing cards, put them face up on the table and look at them carefully for one minute. Then turn them over "face down" and try to remember which card was of which suit - where are the diamonds, where are the spades, and so on. When you learn to remember without mistakes, complicate the task: remember not only the suit, but also the "value" of the card - the five of hearts, the queen of clubs, the ace of diamonds, and so on. Over time, increase the number of cards - take six, ten, sixteen cards. Believe us now or not, but if you do this exercise every day, you can significantly improve your memory! Another very effective exercise is mental arithmetic. We have spoiled our brains very much, having completely stopped loading it with work. Sometimes, in order to add, for example, twenty-one to fifteen, we immediately grab a calculator. Try doing simple calculations in your head, "tickle" your brain cells! This is very useful for activating your memory.

A few home ways to strengthen memory

What else can you do to activate your brain and, accordingly, improve your memory? Remember our tips:

• Avoid alcohol It is a well-known fact,that alcohol kills brain cells. The more you indulge in alcoholic drinks, the more brain cells you can destroy.

It’s better to choose non-alcoholic drinks as an alternative, because their range is also unusually wide.
• Quit smoking About the dangers of smoking, probably tooeveryone knows. Not only is it unhealthy in every way, but it will also prevent you from improving your brain function. Moreover, nicotine is harmful not only to the brain, but to your entire body as a whole.

• Take vitamin supplements Vitamins arean integral part of a healthy lifestyle. They are also important for improving memory. Vitamins of group B and vitamin C are especially necessary. For example, a deficiency of vitamin B6 can be a direct cause of memory loss, and taking pyridoxine (one of the forms of vitamin B6) by elderly people leads to a significant improvement in their memory. And those elderly people who took vitamin E significantly increased their short-term memory, as numerous studies by specialists have shown.

You can also make healing baths by adding five drops of essential oil from one of the herbs to the water.)
