How to Keep the Brain Growing.

The brain is not a muscle, but regularly "exercising" the brain actually does keep it growing and spurs the development of new nerve connections that can help improve memory. As scientists learned more about the brain and how memory actually worked, they realized that there were things you could actually do to improve not only your short-term memory, but to help recall facts that were stored in your long-term memory as well.

This can be as simple as paying closer attention to details during certain times, for instance, when you meet someone for the first time. If you are nervous or even distracted you might not catch a person’s name which will make it more difficult to remember later on.

It takes approximately eight seconds for memories to move from the short-term memory area to long-term storage areas. If you do not pay enough attention to details you can have difficulty remembering them later.

“Over-learning” is another common technique for strengthening memory. This is what a person does when they repeat a bit of information over and over again – they are over-learning it so that there is more of a chance that it will be stored in long-term memory.

Other techniques can be somewhat complicated – until you learn them, that is. Like driving a car, once you learn the “procedure” you never really need to think much about them after that. Memory techniques become just like memories themselves – once they’re burned into your brain, they become a natural process.

Learning different techniques to improve your memory is often affected by the teachers you have. In example, some researchers will suggest that you chew gum to improve your memory and increase the amount of brain power you have. Others claim moving your eyes from side to side for at least thirty seconds can help your memory.

A healthy diet that is based on whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats can improve your memory as well.

No one method or technique is available that will improve everyone’s memory. It is important to exercise your brain or you not only will not make improvements in memory, you will lose the connections that you aren’t using in your brain.
