Six Key Ways That Boost Memory Function

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS —A recent study conducted at Harvard University found 6 ways that help improve your memory.

The study analyzed several previous studies that focused on different diets and hobbies that improved your thinking and memory abilities. The team came up with a list of the six best ways to keep your memory sharp, they include:


1.      Coconut Oil: Research has shown that the medium-chain triglycerides found in coconut oil helps fuel certain brain cells that have trouble utilizing carbohydrates, which is the brain’s main energy source. This has been shown to help prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s.

2.      Fish Oil: Several studies have shown that the high amount of DHA found in fish oil is essential for brain cell communication. Without an abundance of DHA, our brains health could be compromised.

3.      Crossword puzzles and brain teasers: It has been proven that these keep parts of the brain active that may otherwise fall into a rut. These types of puzzles stimulate the brain, keeping it healthy and sharp.

4.      B-Vitamins: These vitamins have been proven to be associated with healthy nerve maintenance and the production of DHA. Studies have also shown that B vitamins help prevent brain shrinkage, which is commonly associated with Dementia and Alzheimer’s. You can find this vitamin naturally in the following foods: shellfish, liver, fish, cheese, and eggs.

5.      Curcumin: Studies have shown that this spice helps prevent Alzheimer’s disease, due to its anti-inflammatory abilities that prevent plaque build-up in the brain.

6.      Berries: The antioxidants that are found in berries, particularly anthocyanidins provide powerful protection to brain cells. It is noted that blueberries, strawberries, and cherries have the highest levels of this type of antioxidant.


If you are interested in improving your memory function, you might want to consider adding some or all of these foods and hobbies to your daily routine.
