Sharpen Your Memory

August 14, 2012 by vleeson Leave a Comment

Scientists once believed that growing new brain cells was impossible for adults—that once they disappeared, they were gone for good. However, back in 1998, while Will Smith was “gettin’ jiggy with it” and the rest of us were 

freaking out about the Y2K bug, researchers at Princeton University turned conventional wisdom on its head.

 

It just so happens that the neurons in your hippocampus, that part of your brain where new memories take root, can continue to grow for the rest of your life. Use the following tips to stay sharp well into your golden years.
Learn something new: Enroll in a class or take up a new hobby outside your comfort zone. The more you stretch your mind, the further it will go.
Visualization: Connect words with images, especially bizarre ones, to help solidify memories. Meeting your boss
at 2 pm? Imagine two turtle doves flapping around your boss’s office. The memory will stick!
Work out: The body and the mind are integrally bound. Cardiovascular exercise stimulates neurotransmitters and helps improve memory.
Avoid distraction: Not easy in today’s world of high-speed, digitally enhanced everything, but the brain requires eight seconds of focus to transfer a thought from short-term memory to long-term memory.
