As we age, our memory also witnesses certain changes. It becomes difficult for us to recall things, to create associations, to learn new things and to commit certain experiences to memory. Follow these guidelines to lift your dwindling memory and let it stay younger and healthier.

• When you learn something new and if you feel that it is something important and to be stored in your memory, write it down or keep repeating it aloud few times. Try to recall the information after longer periods of time. The brain seeps in the information by and by.
• Sleep peacefully for at least 8 hours.
• Apart from physical exercising, your brain also needs some mental exercising. Rejuvenate your brain with puzzles and games. 
• Regular exercise improves the circulation of blood to the brain. Cardiovascular exercises like brisk walking, swimming and jogging increase the blood flow to the brain thereby enhancing the clarity and cognitive capacities of the brain.
• Strain and stress can hamper the functioning of your memory.
• Regular meditation thickens the cerebral cortex of your brain and increases the blood flow to that region.
• Turning yourself upside down can also improve the circulation of blood to the brain.
• For a healthy brain you need to have a healthy diet rich in Thiamine, Vitamin E, Niacin and Vitamin B-6. Food items rich in Omega-3 fatty acids also help in boosting the brain function.

There are certain memory enhancing supplements available in the market that helps lower stress, improves memory and the cognitive capacities of the brain.
