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.

Really interesting. I'm happy to report I eat plenty of blueberries & spinach! Keep up the good work!
Great Jon! I never knew eating right could help with memory, good to know.
Wow! This information is very interesting...I def. add more blueberries and spinach around midterm time. Thanks for the info.
This blog deffinitely caught my eye right away! Any college students would want to know how to remember things easier. I was pleased to see that spinach and strawberries help with memory. I am a huge fan of both and eat them on a weekly basis! I also believe that practice helps a lot with memory. Before finals study a little at a time, instead of cramming the night before. This also relieves a lot of stress and anxiety before exams!
I had no idea that eating certain foods could help your memory. This is really good information for college students especially during midterms and finals. Great post, really interesting!
Great topic for students! Who knew that certain foods can help improve memory. When I took A&P, as stupid as it sounds, I always found I remembered the things that I made into a song or a rhyme so...these tips really help!
