Is Your Memory Fading? Give it a Boost...A Brain Booster!
Does it seem like you are always forgetting something? Do you ever forget that one item you really needed to get at the store?
Is your memory failing you?
How about your keys...ever set them down and then you can't find them? Oh I know, I hate when I'm talking to friend and start to tell her...,oh man, I forgot what I was going to say!!
Is there anything out there to help! I'm glad you asked, because there are several Home Remedies that can help boost your memory and your brain!
- Blueberries the super charge of memory boosters! Eating blueberries daily, according to the USDA can dramatically slow the impairment of memory loss. Polyphenols, compounds in blueberries, actually help "turn on" the signals that let brain cells communicate with each other more effectively.
- Spinach is chocked full of of anti-inflammatory and a brain protecting antioxidants, such as alpha lipoic acid. Research has shown that these antioxidants slow brain aging and preserve memory. WOW!
- Strawberries have the same type of compounds as in spinach to help protect your brain from aging and preserve memory.
A recent study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, showed animals that consumed an extract of strawberries, spinach and blueberries every day had significant improvements in their short-term memory. Not only did their motor skills improve, but they learned faster than the other animals.
- Fish is really brain food! The healthy omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA, in fish are important for cells in the brain. Low levels of omega-3 have been linked to memory problems. Eating cod, wild salmon or sardines are your best sources of the omega-3 fatty acids.
- Tumeric, a spice, has been largely known for
it's
anti-cancer fighting activity
and power-packed anti-inflammatory properties. It is a necessary ingredient in curry powder.
- Egg yolks are one of the healthiest sources of choline, a building block of the valuable neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is vital for memory, learning and thinking. Choline is one of the B vitamins that is essential for brain health!

In addition to eating particular foods there are certain supplements that can be taken to help boost your memory and brain such as:
- Fish Oil- taking 500-3000mg daily can provide as much brain booster as eating fish.
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine- research has shown taking 500-1500mg daily of this supplement seems to delay the beginning stages of age-related cognitive decline while improving overall cognitive function in the elderly. It also protects the brain from damage due to poor circulation and helps to repair injured nerve cells while fighting off free radicals.
- Phosphatidyl Serine (PS)- a naturally substance that is highly concentrated in the brain. PS plays a role in neurotransmission and supports brain function. Studies have shown that PS helps to improve memory and concentration. In order for PS to be effective it must be taken with fish oil supplements or eating fish.
- Gingko Biloba- this helps improve memory, especially occasional mild memory problems associated with aging. It also contains antioxidant properties that help fight off cell-damaging free radicals. GINKGO BILOBA 30 mg. Tablets
It's always important to check with your medical doctor before taking any supplements due to possible interference with prescription drugs.
