How to Make Memory A Priority

Do you often forget where you left your car keys? Do you struggle to remember words, names, faces or numbers?

Maybe you’re finding it more and more difficult to keep up with conversations…or you’ve forgotten important appointments…or you can’t make your favorite dish anymore because the recipe is too difficult to follow.

If one or more of the above examples apply to you, a parent or grandparent, it’s time to consider making memory a priority. Your future and the future of your loved ones depends on it. In a fast-paced, high-stress society, many things can ruin your health and memory. Obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and eating a poor diet are all associated with an increased risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. With an ever-expanding elderly population in America, dementia is a growing disease that, sadly, has no known cure.

Top 5 Methods for Improving Your Memory

1. Avoid Toxins

Smoking, alcohol and drug abuse all increase your risk for dementia. Even one beer or glass of wine a day can make your brain toxic. Recent research demonstrates that marijuana negatively affects the hippocampus, the brain’s major memory center.

2. Memory Boosting Food 

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is filled with pro-inflammatory foods that increase your risk for a variety of medical conditions. It’s also associated with a smaller hippocampus, one of the major memory structures in the brain. Instead of eating foods saturated with refined carbohydrates and sugar, choose lean proteins, healthy fats, and lots of produce. Aim for a diet that’s 70 percent plant-based foods and 30 percent high-quality protein, with healthy fat mixed in.

3. Drink Your Vitamins

Rather than taking handfuls of capsules from stacks of vitamin bottles, get all the memory-boosting power you need from Bright Minds Memory Powder. This robust formula of 34 effective nutrients is a highly concentrated, memory-targeting daily supplement system. With carefully crafted and clinically proven ingredients, Bright Minds Memory Powder is a tasty, citrus-flavored drink mix that can be added to water, juice or even a fruit smoothie. Bright Minds Memory Powder can:

• Enhance Blood Delivery – The better the brain’s circulation, the more oxygen and nutrients it can receive to support memory all through life. Ginkgo, resveratrol, lutein, zeaxanthin, CoQ10, as well as vitamins and minerals in this powder, promote healthy blood flow to the brain.
• Boost Energy – The brain weighs just 2-3 pounds yet, it uses at least 20 percent of all the body’s energy. PS (PhosphatidylSerine), acetylcarnitine, B vitamins, magnesium, chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10 and other nutraceuticals in this formula provide the building blocks for energizing memory processes.
• Promote Brain Connectivity – The brain’s trillions of nerve cell connections (called synapses) rely on PS for their electrical activity. The numerous antioxidants in Bright Minds help protect these synapses against damage. Additionally, numerous methyl nutrients in the formula support synapse maintenance and protect the brain against damage from homocysteine buildup.
• Improve Neurotransmitter Support – Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that travel across synapses in the brain. Huperzine A, acetylcarnitine and choline promote acetylcholine, a key memory transmitter. PS, Vitamin D3, all the B vitamins, magnesium and other minerals support the production, release, and synapse actions of multiple neurotransmitter systems across the brain.

4. Keep Your Brain Clean

The brain has a special waste management system to help eliminate toxins that build up during the day, possibly including the plaques thought to be responsible for Alzheimer’s disease. During the day, your brain is so busy managing your life that this cleaning system is pretty much turned off. Without healthy sleep, the cleaning crew doesn’t have enough time to do their job and trash builds up, contributing to brain fog and memory problems.

5. Jog Your Memory

Literally. Physical activity increases blood flow to your whole body, including your brain, and helps keep your memory sharp. Exercise delivers extra oxygen to the brain and can also stimulate the growth of new cells and blood vessels in the brain.
