Aging and various diseases determine invariably a more or less severe form of memory loss. In these conditions, I need to find out how to improve my memory. Most of the solutions to this old problem can be used both in the treatment and in the prevention of memory loss. According to many scientists, in order to improve my memory, I can use supplements, as well as several techniques. The supplements are based either on medicinal herbs or on vitamins and minerals. The techniques vary, too.
The best supplements that I can use to improve my memory are based on ginkgo biloba. More exactly, on the ginkgo biloba extract that is obtained from the leaves of this tree. Before being added to the supplements, the leaves must be treated, because in the raw state they contain ginkgolic acids, which are poisonous.
The first thing that is done by the ginkgo biloba extract to improve my memory is a significant enhancement of the blood flow to the brain. The oxygen gets from the lungs to the brain and to the other organs through the blood stream. Therefore, the oxygenation of the brain is improved, too.
Next, the ginkgo biloba extract will improve my memory by neutralizing or slowing down the free radicals that help in the development of brain cancer and stroke, among many other memory loss causing health problems. Not at last, the extract will also boost the blood flow by not allowing the bad cholesterol to turn into plaque, which would get deposited on the arteries. This transformation and its result – the excessive plaque, also lead to stroke.
Other memory supplements that can improve my memory are based on ginseng, rosemary, green tea and sage. Ginseng and green tea, as well as ginkgo biloba, contain antioxidants that boost the immune system, fight the free radicals and slow down the aging of the brain. Furthermore, these increase the energy, fact that determines the stress and depression levels to drop significantly. As it is known, depression is the most frequent cause of memory loss.
I can also improve my memory by following a diet that is rich in vitamins such as B1, B6, B9, B12, C and E, and in minerals, such as iron. The vitamins from the B complex protect the nervous system, while vitamins C and E act as antioxidants. Iron deficiency anemia seems to be related to poor school performance. Supplementing these nutrients through food or through supplements will help me to improve my memory.
