How to Improve Your Memory Naturally

There are a lot of misconceptions about improving one's memory. A lot of people think that this is done by doing a lot of fancy mental exercises. And while these will certainly help to some degree, memory ultimately comes down to nutrition and supplements, and no exercises in the world are going to take the place of good nutrition. So, in this article, I'm going to share a few things you can do to improve your memory naturally.

Okay, just what are the things that help our memory? Well, for starters, there's supplements such as Thiamine, Vitamin E, Niacin and Vitamin B-6. Let's go over each one individually.

Thiamine is a vitamin B compound. The lack of thiamine in one's diet can lead to serious neurological problems, let alone memory loss. The problem with thiamine is that, while it is found in a variety of foods, it is usually found in low amounts. Therefore, the only way to get a sufficient supply of thiamine is through supplements.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble anti oxidant. Vitamin E can be found in asparagus, avocado, egg, milk, nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, seeds, spinach and other green leafy vegetables, unheated vegetable oils, wheat germ, and whole grain foods. But as with thiamine, vitamin E is also found in limited amounts in these food. Thus, supplements are needed to make up the difference needed in our daily diet.

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is water soluble. In addition to aiding memory, it is also used in DNA repair and the production of steroid hormones. Niacin is found in quite a few animal products, fruits and vegetables, seeds and fungi such as mushrooms and brewers yeast. The problem with most people is that they don't eat a balanced enough diet to get enough niacin and thus have to rely on supplements.

Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin and part of the B complex group. This vitamin greatly helps with your metabolism, which, if too slow, can actually affect your memory as well. So if you're having memory problems, there is a good chance that you suffer from a slow metabolism as well. Good sources of vitamin B6 include meats, whole grain products, vegetables, nuts and bananas. As with the other vitamins, improper diet forces most people to rely on supplements to get enough B6.

Get enough of these nutrients in your system and you can forget about all the memory tricks, no pun intended.
