How can I improve my memory status?

Question:

Answers:
Memory has two parts: Concentration (you have to get it before you can forget it) and Recall

It is a natural tendency to divide our attention, e.g., driving in the car while listening to the radio, but when we can focus exclusively on material we are attempting to learn, we have a better chance to complete the memory task quickly and accurately. Memory is strengthened by association, e.g., by adding new information from supplemental reading or placing the material in a hierarchal network. Memory is also reinforced when logical connections are made, e.g., while learning the bones in anatomy, visualize the connections and see the pathways as in a computer program. Draw on information from your background for pictures or a mental image. This helps you to utilize both the left and right hemispheres of your brain, which have certain specialized functions.

Actually I just recently read about old adults and how they keep their minds sharp and active. Reading, associating with others, card games, working puzzles, math problems, word problems.

always try to memorise by pretending you are teaching someone or singing off heart whatever you study.

Buy cranberry concentrate from GNC. You mix it with juice or your favorite beverage. Besides providing dietary support for a healthy urinary tract, I was told it helps improve your memory.

Make sure you listen or read carefully and get the information to start with. To retrieve it, it has to be stored somewhere in the first place.

One of the most important things to do to help remember things once you get them into your head is to make associations. To be able to find things, you have to have some kind of organization. Memory works the same way.

And to keep your memory working well, give it lots of exercise.

Darn, I had the perfect answer for you. But by the time the screen came up so that I could type in my answer, I forgot what it was I was going to say.

positive mental attitude will work. so tell yourself you can do it and believe it

Homeopathy:-
SULFUR 200 One dose a week first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, Three doses in three weeks. If that does not help take a dose of KALI PHOS 1M just one dose before going to bed on an empty stomach and wait for a week. If still you feel your memory status is still not up to the mark 3 to 4 doses of PLUMBUM MET 200 just once a day 3 or 4 doses in as many days. And stop !
Report back three days after very dose about your conditions and progress.
Take Care and God Bless !

P.S
And this is also the treatment for BWADSP who answered
" WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN " ;-) LOL !

Here are two ways to have more concentration and to create an effective memory linking:-
When it comes to concentrating, and really focussing on something, many people find it hard.
With so many distractions and thoughts flying around the head, it can be hard to really hone in on something.
Here is a simple technique that you can use to help you focus in and concentrate.
First, close your eyes.
Block out all thoughts - if anything enters, stop yourself straight away.
Then visualise a large red stop sign with the words 'stop' in white, and say stop several times to yourself. Clench your fist at the same time.
Repeat a few times, and you will then be ready to concentrate on the matter at hand. Use this handy exercise whenever you need to.
The best way to do this is to create the story that links everything together as vivid, and therefore as memorable, as you possibly can.
Thus if one of the links is a loaf of bread, then you don't want to make it a bog standard loaf in your head, but make something special about it.
Perhaps you can imagine cutting into it and seeing to your surprise that the loaf is filled with gold. Or if you are buying some cheese, perhaps you are surprised to see this massive lump of cheese walking along the aisle, and on closer inspection see that there is a mouse trying to take it to its hole!
The key idea is to personalise the thoughts and make them vivid and memorable - because that means they are easier to recall when you need to than just saying 'bread', 'cheese' and so forth.
Once you have the items you need to link them together to remember from one to the other.
Thus when you cut open the bread and see the gold colour inside, you then take a closer look only to see the gold roll out onto the floor and you realise it's actually the mouse eating that lump of cheese. as you follow it up the aisle it collides with some eggs and they smash all over the floor.
Bottom line: to remember any 'dry' list that has no natural connection or order, use this vivid memory technique.
