Since we are about a month into school and your going to be loaded with papers, tests, and midterms, I thought I'd research someways to improve our memory so we don't forget that kinesology project that's worth 30% of our overall grade.
The first thing I'm going to tell you is to eat the right foods. Compounds in blueberries called polyphenols actually help "turn on" the signals that let neurons (brain cells) communicate with each other more effectively. Strawberries help protect your brain and preserve your memory. Next is Spinach which is loaded with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that slow brain aging and improve memory. So eat smart and you'll be smart.

Mnemonic devices can be very helpful in remembering information like places and keywords. Sentences or acronymns can be an easy way to remember bones, muscles, or other anatomical features. The thing is they don't have to make sense, all they have to do is work.
One thing when learning to meet new people is remembering names to use visual images. For example, when someone is named Mike, associate him with a microphone.

These are just several ways to inchance your memory, trial and error are the best ways to figure out what staregies work best for you.

It seems like these days that parents want to get their children started out early in everything, wheter it's T-ball, swimming, or other various activities that involve their children being active and socializing with the possibility of maybe getting a scholarship in that sport. Have parents gone off the deep end with Mixed Martial Arts, the new phenomenon that has huge body builders pounding each other into submission?
One side of the people say that this is a good thing, it's teaching children how to defend themselves and promotes self discipline. These same people would also tell you that it's really no different that starting your kid out playing T-ball, but it's actually more beneficial because they are more active.
The other side of people who are completely against MMA associated with children say it's way to violent to start out at young age especially when children are starting at the age of 6. Playing T-ball or basketball provides all of the same components of interaction and skill development without the concept of throwing punches at other children.
