Six ways to improve memory

August 14, 2011

Memory – “assets” mystery and magic of man. Scientific research is that using multiple methods, this property can be “strengthened and increased.

1. Walking

210 persons by the average brain size of brisk walking three times a week, each time in an hour, a team at the University of Illinois (USA) found that only three months after walking, cell activity memory of these same young people than they were 3 years old.


The team also discovered that the walk to promote neck vertebrae, which increases blood flow to the brain moving. Professor Lee Dong-yeong in Neurological Sciences (Seoul National Hospital, Korea), blood circulation activities actively stimulate the release of neurotransmitters substance, allowing faster communication and over the same time. And this helps improve long-term memory.

2. Wine

A research team in the city of Auckland (New Zealand) said that drinking 1-2 cups per day from wine can significantly improve human memory. The researchers say that this NMDA receptor response to alcohol. According to Professor Han Seol-heui in neuroscience (Konkuk University, Korea), small amounts of alcohol not only stimulate NMDA receptors but also expand blood vessels, thus promoting blood circulation.

Antioxidants in wine can also prevent the destruction of brain cells thus improving memory. However, drinking too much alcohol (5-6 glasses wine / day) can damage brain cells reduce the ability of our mind.

3. Coffee

In studies with 7,000 people over 65 in four years, Dr. Karen Ritchie (Center for Medical Research of the National Health and French) found in people who drink more than three cups of coffee per day, reduce speed slower memory decline 45% compared with those who drank a cup of coffee per day.

Now a team at the University of Ottawa (Canada) has studied 6000 people in 4 years and found those who regularly use caffeine have better results in tests (average 31% better than homework ) compared to those who do not take caffeine. Professor Koh Jae-young in neuroscience (Asan Medical Center Seoul, Korea) suggested that caffeine in coffee and tea click attack the central nervous system and increase memory capacity by the end push net system of the brain.

4. Sleeping

American psychologist Robert Stickgold said that people need to sleep at least 6 hours to completely retain the knowledge learned in the previous day. According to Dr. Park Dong-seon Yesong Sleep Center (Korea), the knowledge that we collect is stored at the day in the temporal lobe (one of the most active areas of the brain) when we sleep.

5. Recorded

Remember the long-term capacity of the human brain has no limits. But remember the short-term capacity limitations again – such as remembering phone numbers of learning, to-do list in the day, the names of the stores skim through automobile glass door … Older people have less more memory cells, so they need to better record the information “antagonism disorder” as the phone number and do every day as they appear. When the short-term note is not necessary to “jump” into our brains, they are repositioned become worse.

6. Reading

Reading is a good way to improve memory than conventional methods such as playing cards or chess. After studying the relationship between dementia and other recreational activities such as playing chess, playing cards, watching television and reading, a research group at the Medical Center (Kyung Hee University, Korea) received see who is reading less risk of developing dementia over.

Dr Won Jang-won in a hospital Kyung Hee University, reading books to help promote the shift from short-term memory to long-term memory by training the ability to understand the events that occurred before and after in a book.
