Activities like walking, running, swimming, and cycling increase blood flow to the brain and have been shown to enhance memory and cognitive function. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise most days of the week.
Include foods rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Examples include berries, leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, fatty fish (like salmon), and whole grains.
Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
Take up new hobbies or learn new skills. Activities such as learning a musical instrument, a new language, or a new sport can help create new neural connections and improve memory.
Regular meditation can increase grey matter in the brain and improve memory and focus. Spend at least 10-15 minutes daily in mindfulness meditation.
