Foods to Make You Smarter

The suggestions below are very good ideas and they can actually help to strengthen your memory.

1. First, comprehend the information. This is your first look at the information given to you. Remain focused, let your mind completely process the information. Open your mind and allow it to absorb all the facts and figures that it possible can.

2. Try to take the information and relate it to something that you are familiar with already. The ability to use this association technique is very helpful. Try to interconnect things that you can deeply relate to with the information that you need to remember.

3. Repeat the information in your mind. Now, it is time to begin using your memory. After taking in the information and relating each separate item to something, start trying to recall each of them in the correct order in your mind.




4. Take a break for a few minutes and attempt to recall the information again. Then clear your mind for three or four minutes and try recalling it one more time. Even if you are able to do this accurately keep doing this drill at least three more times. Give yourself another few minutes, and then try recalling again.

5. Repeat these steps over until you can remember the information on your own

1. Blueberries

The tiny but powerful blueberry helps protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the effects of dementia.

2. Coffee

A cup of coffee before a big exam can help your brain perform at its best. That’s because caffeine improves short-term memory and speeds up reaction times. Studies have also linked caffeine to a lowered risk of Alzheimer’s disease. But don’t overdo it—too much caffeine can make you jumpy or irritable.

3. Nuts and seeds

Nuts and seeds are terrific sources of vitamin E, which can help prevent cognitive decline as you age.

4. Avocado

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat, which contributes to healthy blood flow. This helps every organ in your body—particularly the brain and heart. Avocados also lower blood pressure. Because high blood pressure can impair cognitive abilities, lower blood pressure helps to keep the brain in top form.

5. Whole grains

Whole grains, like brown rice, whole wheat, oats, and barley, also enhance the flow of blood to the brain. They contain more intact nutrients than processed white flour, including vitamin E, antioxidants, and fiber. When these work together to increase blood flow, the integrity of brain cells is better preserved.
