Welcome to My World – Improve Your Short Term Memory Naturally!

Hello World! How is your short term memory? I believe we can all use a natural memory boost at times. What do you think?

Natural Ways to Improve Your Short-Term Memory

Have you ever started a conversation but then forgot what you wanted to say? Or walked into your supermarket only to forget what you wanted to buy? (that’s why I go armed with a list 🙂 )

If you answered yes to these two questions, your short-term memory may need some improvement.

Short-term memory is your mental process of storing information for about 15-30 seconds. Now, you don’t have to remember every single bit of information. But forgetfulness can be frustrating. And it can even pose danger when performing daily tasks like cooking or driving.

The natural ways to improve memory listed below may not help you memorize a deck of cards, but they’ll help you remember names of people you’ve just met or where you put your keys.

NATURAL WAYS TO IMPROVE SHORT-TERM MEMORY

1. Eat ginger.

Research shows that ginger can treat your memory loss and dementia. This

study on healthy middle-aged women found that taking ginger supplements can improve your attentiveness, working memory and your reaction time.

There are many ways to eat ginger. You can cook with it or try these ginger drink recipes.

2. Practice meditation.

Meditation can help improve both your short-term and long-term memory.

Even better, people who have never practiced meditation can improve their memory in 8 weeks, research shows.

It’s worth mentioning that people who practice meditation report to lose short-term memory when they fall off the wagon. Have you tried any meditation techniques?

3. Avoid sugar and foods with added sugar.

Researchers say that sugar can ruin your short-term memory. It raises

blood sugar levels which consequently reduces your attention span and ruins your mood. Sugar is in almost every processed food. So reduce intake of processed foods and avoid using table sugar.

4. Use supplements.

Some supplements have been proven to improve short-term memory. They include:

• Curcumin: Is a compound found in turmeric. This study found that curcumin improves memory and attention span.
• Magnesium l-threonate: Has been proven to boost short-term and long-term memory.
• Ginkgo biloba: One of the best brain supplements. Research shows it can greatly improve short-term memory.

 

• 5. Get 8 hours of sleep.

  Data show that almost half of Americans don’t get quality sleep at night.

  

  Sleep when your body tells you too, but go to sleep & wake up the same time each day…

  And this is bad news because lack of sleep lowers your brain function. According to research, we can remember up to seven bits of information at a time when we get quality sleep. But people who are sleep deprived can only remember one or two bits of information.

  6. Eat dark chocolate.

  Dark chocolate doesn’t just suppress your appetite, it also improves memory.

  

  Here’s one I Iike! Dark chocolate can keep your brain young, memory fresher & lower your BP.

  The compounds in dark chocolate improve: blood flow to your brain, responsiveness and attention span. In one study, researchers found that your memory can improve by 30% for 2-3 hours if you drink 2 cups of hot chocolate.

 

What has helped you improve your short-term memory?  I take Epsom salt baths three times a week prior to going to sleep, so not only does it help with my memory but it also helps me sleep. Magnesium is very important for our bodies.

I hope you have a great healthy day!
