[13:31.21]How to Improve Your Memory
[13:35.96]There are many things you can do to improve your memory.
[13:42.13]Among them are various memorizing methods
[13:48.08]as well as taking special care of your health.
[13:53.36]It is important that you regularly stimulate your brain
[13:59.42]to make your memory more efficient.
[14:04.07]You can do this by doing activities that you do not normally do
[14:10.94]and by changing your daily habits.
[14:15.59]Learning a new skill helps your brain to develop.
[14:21.36]When trying to memorize something,you should focus your attention
[14:28.13]and concentrate on the most important things about it.
[14:34.37]Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind
[14:40.33]because this will lower your chances of making accurate memories.
[14:47.41]An excellent way to help memory is to link information with pictures.
[14:56.16]These are referred to as mnemonic techniques.
[15:01.83]Try to see the images in your mind.
[15:06.87]Taking notes,being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools.
[15:15.51]Healthy food and plenty of vitamins
[15:20.56]are essential for your memory to work properly.
[15:25.91]Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain your memory.
[15:33.46]You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest.
[15:39.83]When you are asleep, your brain stores memory.
