Suspecting that you are growing forgetful? Or that your retention power is weakening? Add the following tips to your daily morning routine to sharpen memory.
Drink fluids throughout the morning because dehydration impairs memory.
Balanced breakfast releases glucose that fuels brain activity. Plant-based foods and foods rich in omega-3 acids and antioxidants support brain health.
Multiple ways to meditate. Choose your go-to method, and help yourself improve focus, concentration and memory.
Somehow, incorporate at least a few minutes of physical exercise in your morning routine. It improves blood flow to the brain and enhances memory.
Expose yourself to the sun for 10-15 mins, allowing your body to absorb some Vitamin D. Yoga, walking or stretching, let it be under natural light.
Research suggests that poor sleep can accelerate brain aging. Hence, adequate sleep is essential for memory consolidation.
Start small with these morning activities, and work on improving this invaluable skill called ‘memory’, one step at a time.
