Feed Your Mind

After giving birth four times, and now at the still young age of thirty, I now find it hard to study and remember my readings. What used to take me an hour to memorize perfectly, it now takes me five hours to memorize, with so much errors. So I researched for ways to improve my memory.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are always a staple, but these are a few of what stood out.

1. Eat grapes. A friend’s friend eats at least a kilo of grapes in one sitting, and she can read a book fast and retain what she has read. Ok, I can’t explain but scientific studies show the good effects of grapes in our brain.

2. Drink coffee. I read once that coffee has beneficial effects on our short term memory. It’s probably true. My friend who’s so into coffee, has a great mind.

3. Ginkgo Biloba supplements. I took this one, particularly the one of GNC. It felt that it really works. I believe my brain went back to its old self fast and sharp.

Oh, don’t forget your vitamins and mineral supplements.

Some would say that it’s all in the mind. They work because I think they work. Psychological or not, I’ll take it - as long as it works!
