The Memory Light Switch

Imagine how much better you’d remember stuff if you even put a couple of these methods into place.

Here’s what I’d do: I’d choose ONE of those methods (the one you like the most and which suits your personality the best), and I’d commit to doing that method religiously, every day for a week.

That should give you enough time to see if that particular method does you any good — AND it will build a great habit of it for you.

… then I’d pick a second method the second week, and add that as a new habit and do that religiously as well for the second week. (Obviously, if one method doesn’t work for you, just stop doing it.)

A typical Western diet with lots of delicious fats isn’t just harming you in the long term — giving you diabetes, obesity and heart failure.

No, your diet is also taking a toll on your memory. Right now.

Researchers at Oxford University have found that fatty foods takes a n almost immediate toll on short-term memory . A study of 32 rats who were trained to remember a maze, showed that rats given fatty foods for a few of days after the training, started making errors when traversing it.

Studies on rats are always interesting and may give us indications of what happens in humans, but Dr Andrew Murray, who led the work at Oxford, says that preliminary human data seems to indicate the same connection — fatty foods lead to a decline in short-term memory.

“It’s nothing short of a high-fat hangover,” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal, that published the study.

So no matter what you want to excel at, remember to also keep your body in shape. Your powers of memory, focus and attention will surely benefit.

Take care (of yourself),

Scientists have for the first time recorded individual brain cells in the act of summoning a spontaneous memory, revealing not only where a remembered experience is registered but also, in part, how the brain is able to recreate it. Se the full story at The New York Times.
