Tank D	do you like music or would like to play any type of instrument? How about try to learn the piano or the guitar. You actually memorize the notes or tabs, and the result is that you can play a song! :). And whether you hate classical music or not, just freakin turn it on before you go to bed and let the music play on until you're fallen asleep. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MissileMe	Fish has Dha which is supposed to improve memory. They used to say GINGKO, but now it has been proven to do absolutely nothing. Your brain needs a few things to function. The brain itself is a very simple organ that needs: GLUCOSE and O2. First of all, keep in mind that glucose is the same thing as sugar. So although it might not improve your memory, sugar does help in keeping your brain alert. 02 is your basical oxygen. No brainer, we all need that to stay alive. Some things they say that are good are Multivitamin supplements since many of the vitamins in these pills are necessary for a healthy life and lifestyle. It is highly recommended by doctors, to take Vitamin And Mineral tablets for your health, since many of the vitamins are hard to come by if you eat out a lot. As to specific vitamins that improve memory, there really isnt one magic pill that does that. Dha supposedly does some kind of something but that's in a controlled environment where rats were fed nothing but Dha. And that kind of situation is unheard of in real life. None the less, I would think it helps to take Dha. Eating blue berry extracts will improve your eyesight which should keep your concentration higher for prolonged periods of time which in turn should keep your brain working and focused, Sleep used to be an essential part of memory but now scientists have found out that more sleep didnt really equate to a better memory or better test results. If memory improvement is your sole goal, you should try a course on speed reading. They say speed reading improves memory. Also "speed listening" (this is when they play tapes at higher than normal speed) also improves memory. Hope that helps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Veston Pants	At your age you will notice changes in your memory. These could well be alarming at first. I forgot spelling and especially phone numbers. There are loads of "mental exercises" you can do on the net or by for the Nintendo DS etc. You can try memory mapping as well. These are all techniques anyone can do and it is like exercise. The more you do the better you get. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hisChamp	It's been proven that blueberries and dark green vegetables (spinach, chard, etc.) have a definite link to improving memory. I tried Ginko Biloba, or whatever it's named (I can't remember just now!) for quite a while with no improvement. It isn't proven adequately to improve memory yet. But try doing a search on "memory food enhancers" and check out sites that offer natural foods, rather than the herbal supplemental pills that you have to order from some unknown "Herbaligist." Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SAMI	Honestly nothing improves memory. But impression,repetition and association sharpen u r memory. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JB	You really should go to the doc to have that checked out. Memory loss is not normal. It can be related to several health factors. Especially if you notice it progressively getting worse. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Katie B	Yes, fish oil is one solution. There's one called EyeQ or something like that. Also you should stretch your brain frequently by doing cross words, doing things differently to normal (ie shower with eyes closed, take a different route to work) and learning about new things (for example I am reading an atlas for short periods of time in the evenings to learn about capital cities!
