Exercises to improve memory train this ability like physical exercises that strengthen muscles. The work of the brain can be significantly improved by performing certain actions or by taking stimulating nootropic drugs. Exercises to develop memory restore brain cells, although previously it was believed that it was simply impossible to revive them.
So, what steps should be taken in order to learn how to remember as much information as possible?
1. We make the right diet. No exercise to improve memory will be effective enough if the body lacks vitamins E, A, K, C and B. Their deficiency often causes fatigue, a delayed reaction and the inability to concentrate.
2. Consider a photograph or picture with many objects. This should be done no more than fifteen minutes. During this time, you must try to remember all the objects depicted. Then you should focus and list on paper everything that was remembered.
3. Get ten dice. They must be identical in size and color. You should start with three dice, you need to throw them on the table and cover with your palm. Then raise it for a few seconds and remember the combination that fell out on each bone. The results should be announced aloud. The number of dice used for this exercise to improve memory should be gradually increased to ten. If you remember the location of all the bones is no longer difficult, you can complicate the task by adding cubes of different sizes and colors.
4. You can also take a piece of paper, write on it any ten words and read them aloud. The objective of this exercise is to reproduce the information in the order in which it was recorded. An increase in the level of complexity can be the memorization of phrases, sentences, an increase in their number.
5. It is useful to make a list of products that you need to buy in the store. After which it needs to be read aloud, you can do this several times. The task is to buy everything you need without using the compiled notes. An excellent training will also be an oral account of the total cost of the products.
6. Exercises to improve memory also include solving crosswords, puzzles, and intellectual riddles. It is proved that a large number of numbers over which a person constantly thinks contributes to the emergence of a large number of connections between brain neurons.
7. Exercise performed by the eyes affects memory development. The results of scientific studies have shown that if you move the pupils daily from side to side for half a minute, you can improve brain function by ten percent. This result is simply explained: these actions enhance the coordination of both the right and left hemispheres, and also activate the work of the zones responsible for memory.
8. Continuous physical activity improves brain function and, accordingly, the quality of memorization, since regular training stimulates the growth of nerve endings.
9. The so-called “Roman room method” also helps to develop memory. It consists in the fact that the stored information is divided into blocks and "placed" in a well-known imaginary room. In order to remember something, it will be necessary to introduce yourself in this room and “find” the necessary “portion” of information.
There are also special drugs that improve brain function. These include medicines of plant (ginkgo biloba) and synthetic ("Piracetam", "Nootropil") origin, as well as vitamin complexes containing vitamin B5.
